# Why do messages sent to my own domain bounce?

Your message is likely to bounce when the **from field** is in the same domain as the recipients’ email address. It happens because in GetResponse we set the sender of your message to be your **from field**. At the same time, we redirect the message through our mailing servers. Some **Internet Service Providers** protect their users against [spoofing](https://www.getresponse.com/help/spoofing.html) and block such messages. In this case, the following scenarios are possible:

*   the receiving server rejects the message and it does not appear in your contacts’ inbox,
*   the receiving server accepts the message, but internal domain filters block it and finally it does not appear in your contacts’ inbox.

How to check if the message was rejected by the receiving server?
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In both cases, you will find more information in your **Dashboard**. Go to **[Reports](https://app.getresponse.com/statistics)** and look up the numbers in **Bounced** category. [Learn more about bounces.](https://www.getresponse.com/help/what-are-bounces.html)

How to fix this issue?
----------------------

If this happens, ask the administrator of your domain to add the **GetResponse IP addresses** to a [whitelist](https://www.getresponse.com/help/whitelist.html) (advance-authorized list of email addresses, held by an ISP) in the recipients’ domain. Our IP addresses are as follows:

104.160.64.0/24  
104.160.65.0/24  
104.160.67.128/25  
104.160.68.224/27  
104.160.69.0/26

If the above method does not help, please contact the **ISP** with a request to disable the blocking rule. It is necessary to help avoid similar events in the future.
