Paste the sender to unlock identity + infrastructure analysis

This scan analysed the message body only. Adding the sender address, a Gmail Name <a@b.com> line, or full headers unlocks:

Display-name impersonation
Spot mismatched names like "PayPal Support" on a random Gmail.
SPF · DKIM · DMARC
See whether the sending server is authorised to use that domain.
Domain age + registrar
Brand-new domains are one of the strongest phish signals.
Breach exposure
How many known data breaches this specific address appears in.
MX + DNSBL reputation
Whether the domain can even receive mail and if it's on any blocklists.
