WarningStructural / Gmail metadata

Date header set far in the future (top-of-inbox manipulation)

date-in-future

What this tier means

Warning signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. Contributes to the trash score but is not by itself sufficient.

How Gorganizer detects this

The Date header is set more than 30 minutes in the future. Spammers do this so their email sorts to the top of the inbox regardless of arrival order — most mail clients sort by Date header, not by receive time. No legitimate mail client stamps outbound mail that far ahead of wall-clock time; a small forward skew from misconfigured relay clocks is absorbed by the 30-minute tolerance, but anything beyond that is deliberate manipulation.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a warning-tier signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. It contributes to the trash score but never triggers deletion on its own. Gorganizer requires multiple signals + a margin over the safety floor before any email is moved to trash.

About the scoring engine

Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.

Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
