Gmail thinks Commvault is trying to spoof my email address and is consistently marking them as spam.

I’ve repeatedly unmarked it and created filters to keep it out of the spam folder without success. I haven’t tried the nuclear option, using a filter to mark it as “Not Spam”, but in my experience, doing that causes a lot of other issues, and real spam bypasses the filters.

 

Thoughts? I’ve copied the header address, which repeatedly shows Commvault.com as a permitted sender, and right after that, DMARC fails.

HI ​@RogerB ,

Exchange evaluates incoming messages against the sender’s DMARC policy to decide whether to accept, reject, or quarantine.

We may need to review the configuration on exchange side and confirm if there are any active filters causing an issue here.


Pradeep,

   My apologies for taking this much time to get back to you, but it was end of fiscal year.

Are you talking about making changes on Commvault’s Exchange server? I’m using Gmail on my side.

 

Roger


Hi ​@RogerB,

Are there any filters applied against the existing exchange server used for Gmail.


Since I don’t use Exchange for email, I don’t believe so. This is coming from my personal Gmail account, Exchange is not involved.
