Hi all, I just wanted to chime in here. I can confirm that this was a message sent to an email address @reflectiv.net which is hosted on Mailgun. We provide a routing feature that allows you to match received messages and then forward the email to another email address or application. We do also provide an inbound spam filter and I see that it isn't enabled for this domain. With inbound spam filtering enabled it may help prevent messages like this one from being forwarded.

Ummm.... Now, it is pretty obvious that this is sent via MailGun, which of course needs to improve it's outbound filters, seeing way too much phishing coming from them lately.. (copying SendGrid?) Received: from reflectiv.net (os3-384-25366.vs.sakura.ne.jp [133.167.109.120]) by db739d28cce8 with SMTP id <undefined>; Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:26:59 GMT (Note: It doesn't say it was ESMTP or anything about authenticated user in this case, any script can forge the EHLO) Okay, the only valid thing is probably the source that logged in is using a launching point in Japan.. Implement 2FA on your mailgun account.. However, this is why hackers like using those services.. if a domain has mailgun/sendgrid in their SPF, it is like a get out of jail free card. While not everyone can afford a dedicated IP on those services, it can make it simpler to protect.
