## Common causes

### 1. Someone is forging your address as the sender

**Check:** Are the emails missing from Sent, and has the sending limit not been reached? Then the sender is usually forged, which doesn’t mean anyone has got into the account.

**What to do:** Make sure the domain has SPF, DKIM and DMARC, so recipients can stop the forgeries. Change the password anyway and scan your devices for viruses.
