Safety Check & “Why am I getting this email?”Pro

Spot fake senders at a glance – with a traffic light – and understand where an email comes from.

This feature is part of Angaro Pro.

Next to the sender, Safety Check shows a traffic light: Verified (green), Suspicious (yellow) or Caution (red). Tap it to see the details:

  • DMARC, SPF, DKIM – whether the email really comes from the stated sender and is unchanged
  • Name and address – whether the display name mentions a brand that doesn’t match the sender address (e.g. “Hetzner” from an unrelated domain)
  • Links – disguised targets, look-alike characters and redirects through third-party services
  • Attachments – programs or web pages (e.g. .exe, .html)
  • whether replies go to a different domain and whether the sender is in your contacts
  • Look-alike domains – e.g. paypa1.com or hetzner-support.ch instead of the real address
  • Contact impersonation – the name belongs to one of your contacts, but the address doesn’t (CEO fraud)
  • Changed bank details – an IBAN that doesn’t match earlier emails from this sender
  • Known phishing sites – links are compared with a public blocklist without Angaro learning which links are in your emails
  • Inside attachments – programs in ZIP files, encrypted ZIPs, Office files with macros, PDFs with scripts

Green only appears if the sender check passes and nothing else looks odd – a valid check alone isn’t enough.

With Suspicious and Caution: don’t open links or enter any details if you’re unsure.

If you tap a suspicious link, Angaro asks first and shows where it really leads. When sending, Angaro warns you if the email contains a card number or a password.

Report as suspicious

If a green email still looks suspicious, tap “Report as suspicious” in the details. Only the sender, display name, subject and check result are sent – no email content. The Angaro team reviews the sender and, if needed, rates it yellow or red for everyone.

Why am I getting this email?

In an email’s menu, Angaro explains why it reached you: addressed directly to you, in copy, as a blind copy or via a distribution list, through a mailing list, as a newsletter or as an automatic message.
