To encourage good corporate governance and email usage - and minimize spamming and criminal activity
When at least two elements (starting from the back of the domain do not match) do something, move it to a different folder, let us mark it as low priority or suspicious (another priority I would like to see.)
It must work from back to front. The minimum matches must be two: the dot com and the next one up.
Keep in mind the ' something AT gmail.com' was/is an old standard for email addresses. I have not seen one in years.
https://mailtrap.io/blog/returnpath-email/ Return path is optional but it could be used to criminals to determine if a email address is valid. Note the return path could be used to determine phishing expeditions, if they don't match I would want to know someone actually sent it, perhaps this is 'another filter'. This is up for discussion.
If something comes from whatever@discover.com
it is bad if it has @discover.com.spam.net
it is bad if it has @discover.net
it is OK if it has @return.discover.com
it is Ok if it has @disney-promotion2023.discover.com
it is bad if it has @discover.disney-promotion2023.disney.com
If it is from gmail.com I don't know what to do but at least it would pass first hurdle. BUT if sender and reply to don't match disney@gmail.com reply to kingsdominion.disney@gmail.com it should be italicized or something - allow us to manage that part somehow.
Thanks.
