Hi all, I've recently set up DMARC, SPF and DKIM. I'm now checking all DMARC reports I'm receiving. I've noticed the below entry which looks like an IP which is outside my control and is also not of a usual sender (the entries that are legit are usually coming from 2 ISP mailservers and I see those IPs on a daily basis). So this one entry seems to be off.
Now I wonder what I should conclude from this DMARC entry. Is this an email server, which successfully auths (using SPF and DKIM, so I can be "assured" it's actually the mailserver intended for otherdomain.com?) sending out an email in the name of mydomain.com? Note that mydomain.com is doing business with otherdomain.com. So perhaps I'm reading this entry incorrectly. However I don't see any incoming email for mydomain.com from them at that time which would mean this must have been a mail addressed to another domain. I don't see any reason why this company would need to send emails in name of my domain. I know I can change the policy using DMARC to drop such emails but nonetheless it seems interesting to investigate what's going on here. Am I interpreting this entry correctly? Thanks a lot in advance. <record> <row> <source_ip>w.x.y.z</source_ip> <count>4</count> <policy_evaluated> <disposition>none</disposition> <dkim>fail</dkim> <spf>fail</spf> </policy_evaluated> </row> <identifiers> <header_from>mydomain.com</header_from> </identifiers> <auth_results> <dkim> <domain>otherdomain-com.20150623.gappssmtp.com</domain> <result>pass</result> <selector>20150623</selector> </dkim> <spf> <domain>otherdomain.com</domain> <result>pass</result> </spf> </auth_results> </record>
