Something about
this email feels off.

Paste the email's text (or the HTML source, if you have it) and Delint Mail checks it against common phishing patterns — urgency language, mismatched links, lookalike domains, generic greetings. It's a heuristic pass, not a verdict.

Paste an email above to scan it.

This is a pattern-matching heuristic, not a security product. It can miss real phishing and can flag legitimate email. Never treat a clean scan as proof an email is safe — when in doubt, verify through a channel you already trust, not links in the email itself.

What it looks for

Urgency and threat language — "act now," "account suspended," "verify immediately"
Mismatched links — link text showing one domain while the actual href points somewhere else
Lookalike domains — near-misses of well-known brand names, like paypa1.com or micros0ft.com
Generic greetings — "Dear Customer" or "Dear User" instead of a real name
Shouting subject lines — excessive capitalization or exclamation marks

Questions

Does this replace real email security software?

No. It's a quick, free second opinion using visible text patterns. Real phishing detection also checks sender authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), sending infrastructure, and reputation data that only your mail provider can see.

Why paste HTML source instead of just the visible text?

The mismatched-link check needs the actual href behind a link, which only appears in the HTML source. Most email clients have a "view source" or "show original" option in the message menu.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Everything is scanned in your browser with JavaScript. The email text never leaves your device.
