Why this verdict

Every scoring adjustment, in dominance order. Shows exactly how we got from 100 to the final trust number.

Why this verdict

1000

The scorer starts every address at 100 trust and applies each signal below in turn. Negative deltas are penalties (red), positive deltas are bonuses (emerald). Final clamped trust: 0.

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.
Add sender and re-scan

Your previous paste won't be sent — you'll start a fresh scan with both fields.

MalwareTips never stores the raw address. Every input is SHA-256 hashed before persistence — the URL above IS that hash. We keep the local part, domain, and display name separately so the report can render them; the original raw input is dropped after the scan. If you received this email and are worried, do not click any links and do not reply — verify the sender through a known-good channel.
