Email header analyzer
The Rythm Email Header Analyzer is a free, pure-client-side parser for raw email headers. You paste the full raw header (from Gmail Show original or Outlook View source) and the tool extracts From, Reply-To, Return-Path, Subject, Message-ID, the Received chain, and the Authentication-Results line. It surfaces DKIM, SPF, and DMARC verdicts as colored badges and flags red signals: authentication failures, From and Return-Path domain mismatches, Reply-To pointing to a different domain than From, and Cyrillic-range characters in the display name or domain (a common homoglyph attack pattern). The parser is pure JavaScript and runs entirely in your browser; no header content is transmitted to a server, logged, or analyzed by Rythm. This is a starter forensic kit, not a complete suite: it cannot tell you whether a sending server is on a known-bad list, whether the From domain is freshly registered, or whether the body content is malicious. For a deeper look pair the output with whois lookups for domain age and Spamhaus or SURBL for blocklist status. The tool also assumes you pasted the full raw header; partial input gives partial answers.
Does the analyzer send my header to a server?
No. All parsing runs in your browser.
What does a DKIM fail mean?
The cryptographic signature could not be verified.
What does From and Return-Path mismatch indicate?
Often a spoofing signal on a one-to-one message.
Why are Cyrillic characters a red flag?
Cyrillic letters that look identical to Latin letters are used in lookalike domain registrations.
