I personally receive a lot of emails that aren't addressed to me and aren't marked as spam and have always wondered how this works.
Can someone go into a bit more details about why this works? In what way is this message authentic?
The ARC wiki page says "Validating an ARC chain only makes sense if the receiver trusts the ARC signers."; in this case the receiver is Gmail. Why does gmail trust a random domain (robtoledoyour.com)?
I’ve seen bad actors flood mailboxes with forwarded mail to obfuscate malicious activity. For example, they send a forged message asking for banking info updates and flood the real address that’ll get the “ok done” reply which I assume is an attempt to delay discovery of the attack.
The "To:" header is not involved in any way with the delivery of emails.
