Email Header Analyzer

Paste raw email headers — see the route from sender to inbox, time per hop, plus SPF/DKIM/DMARC verdicts. Useful when an email lands in spam or takes too long.

Paste headers (Gmail: ⋮ → Show original)

Headers are parsed in your browser. Paste only the header block to keep the message body off this page entirely.

FAQ

Where do I find raw email headers?

Gmail: open the email → ⋮ menu → Show original. Outlook: open → File → Properties. Apple Mail: View → Message → Raw Source. Most clients have a 'view source' equivalent.

Is my email content sent anywhere?

No. The headers are parsed entirely in your browser. Even better — paste only the header block (above the empty line before the body) and there's no message content to leak.

What does the SPF/DKIM/DMARC result mean?

These are pulled from the receiving server's Authentication-Results header — what the mailbox provider actually decided. 'pass' means good; 'fail', 'softfail', 'neutral' or missing means the sender didn't authenticate the way they claimed and the email is at higher spam risk.

Why does the journey timing have negative numbers sometimes?

Mail servers often have slightly out-of-sync clocks. A 'hop took -3s' usually means the receiving server's clock is a few seconds behind the sending server's. We show the raw arithmetic so you can spot real delays vs. clock skew.
