Hi,

In the last few months, I have noticed a few unauthorized email messages being accepted even though DMARC and SPF checks fail. In the DMARC report, reason is mentioned as "forwarded". I have search around a lot on this and I haven't been able to find a solution. Hence trying to seek some help here.

Could someone explain what "forwarded" means when DMARC policy is "reject" ? and How do i enforce the "reject" policy in such cases ?

I have listed down the information I have in the DMARC report below for your reference,

Policy Published:

  <policy_published>
    <domain>mpipe.net</domain>
    <adkim>s</adkim>
    <aspf>s</aspf>
    <p>reject</p>
    <sp>reject</sp>
    <pct>100</pct>
  </policy_published>

Record:

  <record>
    <row>
      <source_ip>192.185.4.17</source_ip>
      <count>1</count>
      <policy_evaluated>
        <disposition>none</disposition>
        <dkim>fail</dkim>
        <spf>fail</spf>
        <reason>
          <type>forwarded</type>
          <comment></comment>
        </reason>
      </policy_evaluated>
    </row>
    <identifiers>
      <header_from>mpipe.net</header_from>
    </identifiers>
    <auth_results>
      <spf>
        <domain>mpipe.net</domain>
        <result>fail</result>
      </spf>
    </auth_results>
  </record>

NOTE: 192.185.4.17 is an *Unauthorized* sender.
