Sh4mefulIP Address: 170.10.153.109 ⚠ Network Confounder
Mimecast is a cloud-based email security gateway that enterprises route all inbound and outbound corporate email through for spam filtering, malware scanning, URL click-protection, and archiving. It breaks DKIM authentication by modifying message bodies during inline security processing — URL rewriting and footer insertion invalidate the original DKIM body hash. On the SPF side, Mimecast relay IPs become the actual sending IPs, breaking SPF alignment unless the domain owner has explicitly included Mimecast netblocks in their SPF record and enabled SPF alignment in the Mimecast admin console. DMARC failures originating from Mimecast IP ranges are almost always legitimate corporate email with a configuration gap, not spoofing or spam attempts.
