You report a phishing or spam email to a provider and they ask you to send through the email headers. They don’t mean the to and from lines at the top of the message, they want the technical details, and that part is rarely obvious. This episode shows you how to find email headers in Zoho Mail, Gmail and Outlook, and how to analyse them so you can report the email to the right provider.
In this episode, Charly covers:
What email headers actually are and why providers ask for them
How to find your headers in Zoho Mail, Gmail and Outlook
Two free tools that read the headers for you: the Zoho Mail toolkit and MXToolbox
How to work out which platform sent the email so you can report it to the right place
Why a forwarded email won’t carry the original headers, so you need the original message
If you receive phishing or spam that looks like it came from a legitimate sending platform, reporting it helps the provider shut it down. To do that, you need the headers, and now you know how to get them.
