Frequently asked questions

Where do I find an email's headers?

In Gmail: the message ⋮ menu → "Show original". In Outlook: File → Properties → "Internet headers". In Thunderbird: View → Headers → All.

What do the Received headers tell me?

Every server that handled the message adds a Received line: reading them bottom-up you rebuild the path and the delays between hops.

How do I spot a forged email?

From not aligned with Return-Path, failed SPF/DKIM/DMARC and an originating IP with bad reputation are the typical signs of phishing or spoofing.
