Gratis E-mail Header Analyzer

Analyseer e-mailheaders om phishing te herkennen

E-mailheaders onthullen de ware oorsprong van elk bericht. Plak je e-mailheaders hieronder om SPF-, DKIM- en DMARC-authenticatie te controleren, de route van het bericht te traceren en rode vlaggen te identificeren die kunnen wijzen op phishing- of spoofpogingen. Alle analyses vinden plaats in je browser.

How to get the raw email headers

The tool needs the full raw headers, not the visible message. In Gmail, open the email, click the three-dot menu and choose “Show original”. In Outlook, open the message, go to File then Properties, and copy the “Internet headers” box. In Apple Mail, use View then Message then Raw Source. Paste the whole block above.

What the results tell you

Headers record the path a message actually took and the results of the checks that prove who sent it. Focus on three: SPF (was the sending server authorised for that domain), DKIM (was the message cryptographically signed and unaltered), and DMARC (did the visible “From” line align with those checks). A “fail” or “none” on these, especially when the email asks for money, credentials, or urgency, is a strong spoofing signal. Our guide to email header red flags walks through real examples.

Veelgestelde vragen

What are SPF, DKIM and DMARC?

They are email authentication checks. SPF verifies the sending server is authorised for the domain, DKIM verifies the message was signed and not altered, and DMARC ties both to the visible “From” address. Failures on these are common signs of spoofing.

Can headers prove an email is a scam?

They are strong evidence, not absolute proof. Failed authentication plus a suspicious request is a clear red flag, but a message can pass these checks and still be malicious if the sender’s own account was compromised. Combine the headers with judgement about what the email is asking for.
