Earlier quoted context omitted.

It seems like everything in the zone "spf.nssi.telus.com" resolves, regardless of further DNS labels. So yeah, I'd say every host with any IP is allowed to send mails as anything from telus.com. That's a bit unsettling.

They appear to have quitely fixed it.

Indeed, the DNS records are gone. They had a tweet[1] 1 hour or 2 ago how they are working on it. I guess someone got phoned on his sunday to fix it. I'm hoping for a further update from their side what happened.

Exact same thing for me. Noticed I was getting emails being sent from myself. More worringly was the emails appeared in my SENT folder. For 5mins I was freaking out thinking I was hacked, because I didnt think spoofing emails would show up in MY "sent" folder. But I run 2FA, long complex unique password etc. I treat OpSec really highly. I checked all Google security settings, no unauthorised access, no apps using my…

I wonder if telus did this to allow people using their email system to use Google calendar to send reminders.

Who is Telus? I'm seeing the spam sent from me via Telus, but I don't use Telus, afaik.

Their website is so abstract... sustainability, values, Health? No idea what they do.

Our engineering teams are aware of this issue and they are working to resolve it as quickly as possible. You should no longer see new spam messages appear in your sent box, and existing spam messages will be automatically removed over the next few days.

Most people don't realize some services you "Logged into with Google" can also send emails in your name. I didn't come across anyone checking authorized apps in that thread. While this appears to be a spoofing issue, I suggest pruning the list of authorized apps frequently: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3466521?hl=en

I checked that and the only one that had email access was my Windows desktop. This led me to assume my PC had a virus, until I saw this thread.

Can you comment on what the issue actually is? Is the issue with gmail or telus or both?
