#Citibank emailed me an alert. The same bank that constantly warns me about email scams. And, yet, they misconfigured their email so it comes as a spoofed email. My email provider delivered it anyway because Citi has a "relaxed" policy in their DNS that says that EMAIL FROM A SPOOFING SERVER CAN BE DELIVERED so long as the signature passes. Yep, servers spoofing them are not a major red flag and the email should be delivered to the inbox anyway. The email provider is not to blame here.

A major bank should not do it this way.

The spoofing SMTP server check failed because the sending IP address is not authorized by Citibank's SPF record for info6.citi.com to send their email. This has been going on for years. Do you want Citibank email from a server not authorized by them to send it?

This relaxed attitude by corporations is why people get scammed.

The order late Tues by Judge #Chutkan “gives us a chance to breathe after the EPA unlawfully — & w/o #DueProcess — terminated our awards & blocked access to funds that were appropriated by #Congress & legally obligated,” said #ClimateUnited CEO Beth Bafford.

The lawsuit by Climate United Fund & other groups contends that the #EPA, Admin #LeeZeldin & #Citibank, which held the money, illegally blocked the funds awarded last year & had jeopardized the organizations’ operations.

The order by US Dist Judge #Chutkan prevents—for now—the #EPA from ending the $20B #grant program.

Chutkan's order also blocks #Citibank, which holds the money on behalf of the EPA, from transferring the money back to the govt or anyone.

#ClimateUnitedFund & other groups sued #Trump’s EPA, its admin #LeeZeldin & Citibank, saying they had illegally denied the groups access to $14B awarded last year through the #GreenhouseGas Reduction Fund, commonly referred to as a “green bank."
