A few days ago, Google started notifying (some) Google Workspace customers of updated spam filter/blocking changes coming to the Gmail email service. They’re moving to more proactively block emails that have headers violating RFC 5322, and it is believed that this is an attempt to help prevent DKIM replay attacks. Read on to learn more about what this means and how it could impact email senders.In the notification below, they indicate that they’ve sent this only to Workspace users they think may be impacted by this change, but truth be told, it affects the entire internet, as it could impact anyone sending email messages to any user at a Google-hosted mailbox.The notification: We’re writing to let you know about an upcoming change to your Gmail services. Gmail will start rejecting messages that are non-compliant with Internet Message Format standards and contain more than one single-instance email header as of April
