Messages from **senders** in the specified domains are subject to impersonation protection checks. The message is checked for impersonation **if** the message is sent to a **recipient** that the policy applies to (all recipients for the default policy; **Users, groups, and domains** recipients in custom policies). If impersonation is detected in the domain of the sender's email address, the action for domain impersonation is applied to the message.
