inbound spam to my personal domain?
So i recently checked my mxfilter Inbound logs and i see this 
4 emails from the same sender emailage(.)com that is trying to send a email to a nonexistent email address on my personal domain? First i was suspicious that a malicious acter is using my personal domain to use the fake email address on a website or something? My MX and CNAME dns look fine since i am already useing namecrane. I don't think it's email spoofing? Has anyone seen this before or know wtf is emalage since it redirects to a corpo domain named lexisnexis? (or LexisNexis® Emailage®). I'm just confused on why someone would use a fake email under my personal domain to register?

How to prevent this ?
I think it's really common and nothing to worry about. SpamExpert is doing its job.
I see, so ig it's nothingburger
Welcome to the internet
people will guess accounts and spam away to anything they think will hit an inbox
LexisNexis® is a product/dashboard of a ThreatMatrix
There's professional spammers who scrape new domain and update registries.
They'll send to common emails like info, webmaster, admin, contact.
Others scrape whois registry emails to send to the technical/billing contacts.
I avoid using catchall emails for this because it means you're going to get tons of spray and pray spam and scam emails.
Consider setting up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records to better protect your domain from being misused.
