Hello,

If a sender (userA@domain.com) in the Org sends out an email to a recipient (UserB@contonso.com) and the message was flag as spam. Why is mailscanner sending the message to the recipient saying that the message is spam.

Shouldn't the mailscanner email go back to the sender that is in our Org stating that the message was flag as spam and it is in quarantine?

Any Ideas?

Do you have a mail header that you can share?

here are the headers that our sender send to gmail.com

This is the headers that the EFA generated and sent it to GMAIL instead of sending to "OrgUser" that sent the email.

That's how notify works.

notify - Send the recipients a short notification that
# spam addressed to them was not delivered. They
# can then take action to request retrieval of
# the original message if they think it was not
# spam.

It's intended to function in the other direction, though, with the recipient being someone inside your organization.

You can either

1) Whitelist your internal server, so that nothing gets flagged as spam going outbound (recommended)

or

2) Create a ruleset for the Spam Actions and exclude your internal server so that outside recipients never receive this message.
