Spoof@paypal.com bounce back

[Gunns9999]

I’ve been forwarding phishing emails to spoof@paypal.com for years but yesterday they started bouncing back with this message: Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups: spoof@paypal.com (spoof@paypal.com) Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it. I’ve tried using the review@ address, same happens, and have tried sending it to myself and putting it in as a cc, still bounces. The same happens with the spoof@apple.com so obviously one of the spammers has got smart! Is there any way around this?

Hi @Gunns9999,

I'm sorry to hear that emails that you're forwarding have been bouncing. Since so many service providers are bouncing your emails, it's possible that your own email address is flagged in some way as being problematic. Are you using any sort of email address redirect or a separate reply-to address, or anything similar to that?

Hi Olivia - no I don’t have anything like that setup...I wouldn’t know how. I assumed the originators had got smart and built something into their emails to prevent them being forwarded...is that possible?

Hi @Gunns9999,

That's an interesting idea. I'm afraid that's not something I would be able to answer.

I'm sorry that you've been unable to forward the emails.

This same problem just happened to me as well. Something you should look into.

It is the same for me just now. I got a phishing email directing me to <removed>

The forwarded email was rejected with the message "Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it."

The emails are being rejected by paypal's spam filter. Seems kind of dumb having the address to send spam emails to being filtered for spam emails. Kinda defeats the purpose don't you think? @PayPal_Olivia
