Your email route and checks appear here

Paste the complete raw header to inspect authentication and delivery evidence. Message body content is not required.

How to Get Headers

Open the message's original source or internet headers, copy the complete header section, and paste it above.

What Results Mean

Authentication results are evidence reported by receiving systems. A pass improves trust but does not prove a message is harmless.

Privacy & Limits

Analysis stays in your browser. Headers can contain addresses and IPs, so remove personal details before sharing reports.

Email Header Analyzer FAQs

Does this tool upload my email header? +

No. Parsing and report generation run locally in your browser.

Does an authentication pass guarantee safety? +

No. A legitimate or compromised account can still send harmful content.

Why are some relay times missing? +

A Received line may omit a parseable date or use a non-standard format.

Does this inspect attachments? +

No. It analyzes transport headers only, not message bodies or files.
