This is a security measure they have implemented to help reduce potential address spoofing of their mail domains. + + + +**What this means:** As of June, 2016, you can no longer send with the From address being anything from a Microsoft address when sending to a domain that checks DMARC before accepting mail. + +**What you can do: ** You will need to change the From address you use in emails to a non-Microsoft address. We recommend using one at your own mail domain, or one you control that is legitimate. You can then set the Reply-To field to be the original Microsoft address that previously was used in the From field. + +**What about these messages, are they lost?** : Yes, any send with this bounce message is discarded and tracked as a [Block](http://sendgrid.com/blocks). You will need to adjust your From address field settings, and then try resending from your side. + + + +For more extended reading, check out check out [this article on the DMARC changes](http://www.mediapost.com/publications/article/277884/dmarc-changes-coming-soon-to-an-inbox-near-you.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline&utm_campaign=93744), as well as our [DMARC Classroom article]({{root_url}}/Classroom/Basics/Email_Infrastructure/everything_about_dmarc.html).
