Email Sender Verification for Thunderbird
Phishing emails have become quite common in the past years and it has become increasingly important to verify the sender – or origin – of emails that are received. Experienced users can do that manually by checking email headers for instance.
The email Sender Verification extension for Mozilla Thunderbird integrates an automatic option to verify the senders into the email client. It basically tells the users if the sender that is shown in the from header of the email was the actual sender of the email. The extension uses the Sender Policy Framework and various reputation services like Spamhaus or Sender Score Certified to retrieve information about the domains.
