Multi-message reconstruction

Email Incident Timeline Builder

Reconstruct up to 25 raw messages into a chronological identity timeline and surface the exact transition where sender evidence materially changed.

Reconstruct an email incident from multiple messagesPaste raw headers in sequence. Mailybox orders parseable timestamps and scores identity transitions between adjacent messages.
Separate messages with a line containing === MESSAGE ===. Up to 25 messages are reconstructed in one analysis.

What this analysis does

Paste a sequence of raw message headers separated by a clear boundary. Mailybox extracts dates, sender identities, signing domains, Message-ID domains and receiver authentication, orders parseable timestamps, compares each adjacent message and highlights the highest-risk identity transition without claiming that a stable identity proves safety.

How to use the result

Use real evidence

Paste the exact domain, header, message or configuration. The result is only as useful as the evidence supplied.

Review the findings

Mailybox separates observations from inferred causes so you can see what is known and what still needs verification.

Retest after changes

Email authentication and routing are stateful. Re-run the analysis after publishing a fix.

Interpretation matters

Email systems combine DNS, message-level evidence, provider policy and intermediate infrastructure. A single passing check is not proof that every message will deliver, and a single warning is not proof that a domain is misconfigured. Mailybox is designed to expose the evidence and the relationship between signals so the next action is clear.
