What should I do when I receive bounce messages for the emails I did not send?
- Check your sent folder for unauthorized emails. If you find any, and in case you are sure that you did not send it, there might be a chance that your account is compromised.
- In case you suspect your account is compromised,
- Change your account password immediately.
- Check User Activity log.
- Log out from all existing devices.
- Contact our support for further assistance.
- If you did not find any unauthorized emails, then the bounce emails you received will be a result of return-path spoofing. To avoid this,
- Set up a strict SPF record or request your admin.
