Gmail users on Reddit and in Google's support pages have reported receiving repeated messages with the subject line "Delivery Status Notification (Failure)" over the last year (they've found their way into my inbox more frequently in recent weeks as well). Here's how this attack works and what you need to do about it.
The Gmail version of this scam comes from mailer-daemon[at]googlemail[dot]com and includes a text box at the top stating "Address not found: Your message wasn't delivered to [your handle]@google.com because the address couldn't be found, or is unable to receive mail." There's a clickable "Learn More" link as well as a link to Google support pages.
The reason this works is because of how mailer-daemon is set up. Scammers can put any address in the email header. If it's yours, you'll receive anything that bounces back. They could blast thousands of people with spam that appears to come from you, but this attack makes messages look like they are both to you and from you, so it could be a more targeted phishing attempt to make you believe there's a problem with receiving mail to your inbox and that there's something you need to do about it.
What to do if you get mailer-daemon spam
As always, don't click any links or images in the message or open any attachments in unsolicited communication.
Bad actors don't actually need access to your account to set this up, so more than likely your account itself is safe. But you should make sure you have a strong password with multi-factor authentication or a passkey enabled for Google.
