hi,

i guess you meant to post this to the mail gateway forum so i'll move this there.

* you should check if your smtp server is configured as an open relay.

* do you have spf enabled?

you can use https://mxtoolbox.com/emailhealth/ to check your domain
 
It could be email spoofing/masquerading.
Pls show the email raw format headers.
 
Thanks for your support.

Do you enable SPF checking on your PMG? SPF checking should help to eliminate email spoofing/masquerading from others network not in your domain SPF record.
