Authenticated users are able to manipulate both the SMTP
envelope “Envelope-from” and “From” fields when sending
emails through OVH mail servers.



Due to OVH's default SPF configuration, which
commonly includes include:mx.ovh.com, any authenticated user with a
valid OVH email account can send messages that appear to originate from any
OVH-hosted domains using the default SPF record. Since the SPF policy
explicitly authorizes OVH mail servers (mx.ovh.com) to send mail on behalf of
these domains, forged messages successfully pass SPF validation despite
not being authorized by the impersonated domain owner.
