    How is this spammer spoofing my email?

    I've lately - for the past week or so - been getting 'I recorded you' spam. And I'm wondering how they succeed in getting it through. How do they get the emails to pass SPF and DMARC. I know there are some email experts here. Here are the headers: I've bolded the egregious bits. Whois says...

    Spam: I knew it was too good to be true

    The number of spam emails I receive has been steadily dropping for some months. I've gone from having many hundreds of emails in my Spam folder to just over a hundred. Until just recently when it's started to track back upwards. Drat!

    Wherein spammers sink to a new low

    I was checking my Spam folder and saw one message had the title 'She is only 12' and it was cut off at that point by Gmail.

    Catch all email address for potential spam - Anyone else do this?

    A while ago I set up a catch all box on my own domain name, and as a result of many shops asking for email addresses at the checkouts, now give it in the format A.[shop name]@domain_name.tld.
