Email Risk Score

Score an email for risk signals

Suspicious emails carry recognisable signals, and scoring them helps judge whether a message is risky. This tool scores an email based on its headers and subject, so you can gauge the likelihood that it is phishing or spam.

Why scoring email signals helps

Phishing and spam emails share tell-tale characteristics: authentication failures in the headers, mismatched sender details, urgency or lure language in the subject, and other signals that individually mean little but together indicate risk. Scoring an email against these signals turns a gut feeling into a more structured judgement, highlighting what is suspicious about a message. It is a defensive aid for assessing your own suspicious mail, complementing careful reading; a high score is a reason to be cautious, not a definitive verdict, since legitimate mail can occasionally trip signals and clever attacks can avoid them.
