Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of verifying the authenticity of incoming emails. It helps in:
- Detecting and mitigating spam and phishing attempts by analyzing email headers.
- Extracting critical information such as the originating IP address, authentication results (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and IP reputation.
- Providing a structured response for further action or reporting, ensuring that businesses can maintain a secure email environment.

Workflow Steps

  • Webhook Trigger: The workflow is initiated when a new email is received via a webhook.
    2. Header Extraction: It extracts the email headers to analyze the email's journey.
    3. IP Address Analysis: The workflow isolates the originating IP address from the headers, filtering out private addresses.
    4. IP Reputation Check: It queries external APIs to assess the reputation of the IP address, identifying any associations with spam or fraud.
    5. Authentication Results Evaluation: The workflow checks for authentication headers (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and categorizes their results as pass, fail, or unknown.
    6. Data Formatting: It formats the extracted data into a structured JSON response, ready for reporting or further processing.
    7. Response to Webhook: Finally, it sends the structured response back to the requesting system, completing the email analysis pipeline.

    • Customization Guide

    Users can customize this workflow by:
    - Modifying API Endpoints: Change the IP reputation API URLs to use different services based on needs.
    - Adjusting Header Checks: Add or remove checks for specific headers based on the organization's email security policies.
    - Customizing Output Format: Alter the final output structure to match specific reporting requirements or integrate with existing systems.
