decode-spam-headers.py
This tool accepts on input an *.EML
or *.txt
file with all the SMTP headers. It will then extract a subset of interesting headers and using 79+ tests will attempt to decode them as much as possible.
This script also extracts all IPv4 addresses and domain names and performs full DNS resolution of them.
Resulting output will contain useful information on why this e-mail might have been blocked.
Example screenshots
- Chain of MTA servers (nicely parsed
Received
headers):
- Various headers decoded as much as possible, according to publicly available documentation (here Office365 ForeFront Spam Report):
- Different custom heuristics implement to actively validate and seek for clues of spam categorization, here logic detecting Domain Impersonation:
- Script attempts to reverse-engineer and document some of the Office365 Anti-Spam rules, as well as collect public knowledge about other opaque Anti-Spam headers:

Most of these headers are not fully documented, therefore the script is unable to pinpoint all the details, but at least it collects all I could find on them.
