SPF Comment-Injection "(pass)" Fake
received-spf-comment-injection-pass-fake
What this tier means
High-confidence threat indicator — phishing, impersonation, BEC, or scam pattern. Strong contributor to the trash decision.
How Gorganizer detects this
Received-SPF (or Authentication-Results) header whose leading result token is fail / softfail / neutral / temperror / permerror, but whose comment text embeds a positive pass-token ("(pass)" / "result=pass" / "spf passed" / "sender authenticated") — a forgery shape aimed at downstream scanners that grep for "pass" anywhere in the header without parsing the RFC 7208 structure. Legitimate SPF-fail comments narrate the negative result (e.g. "sender domain does not designate 1.2.3.4 as permitted"); they never contain a literal "(pass)" token or claim the check passed. Distinct from `received-spf-whitespace-evasion` — that signal fires on whitespace inside the `envelope-from=...` value; this one fires on the leading-result / comment-claim mismatch.
False-positive guard
Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a threat-tier signal — it adds a strong contribution to the trash score. The full pipeline still requires convergence across multiple modules + a margin over the safety floor before deletion happens, and Gmail's trash (30-day recovery) is always used — never permanent delete.
About the scoring engine
Gorganizer's scoring engine emits 2,143+ 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.
