How do I get email headers from Gmail?

Open the email, click the three-dot menu, select "Show original," and copy the headers.

Can email headers be faked?

Received headers added by receiving servers cannot be faked. Authentication results are reliable.

What does a DMARC fail mean?

The email failed the domain's authentication policy. Strong sign of spoofing.

Can I trace an email to a specific person?

You can trace to the sending server and IP. Not to a specific person unless they included identifying information.

Email Tracer

Copy the full email headers from your email client (Gmail: "Show original", Outlook: "View message source"). Paste the raw headers into the input field. Click "Parse" to extract and trace the email routing path hop by hop. Review the visualized hop analysis showing sender origin, intermediate servers, and anomalies. Analyzes email headers to reveal the servers and path your email traveled through. Shows each hop, delays, and authentication results (SPF, DKIM, DMARC). All parsing runs in your browser.
