Hello!

I have PMG working flawlessly with mydomain.com and recently starting to get some really wired phishing mails with field "From" such as "no-reply@mydomain.com", but I don't even have such address, why they are not blocked?
I have SPF set to "mydomain.com ~all" + DKIM and DMARC are set and valid.
How come some expobugurtina.com (sic!) is sending me phishing from MY OWN domain from non-existent address?

I found some similar topic on the forum and make two rules to quarantine everything with "From" ^.*<.*>.*<.*>.*$ and ^.*UTF-8.*<.*>.*$ as suggested there, but it did not wored for me.

Please tell my why this is even happening and how to block these mails?

Thank you!
