What it can analyse
Individual messages
Drag and drop one or more .eml files directly into the interface.
Entire folders
Select a folder and, when needed, enable recursive scanning of its subfolders.
Mixed folders
PDF, DOCX, XLSX, TXT and other files are quietly ignored: only EML files are analysed.
Technical indicators
SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SCL and other checks, with optional DNS/MX lookup.
Italian and English
The interface and reports are available in both languages.
Local reports
Detailed reports for each message and a final summary in summary.txt.
Where reports are stored
The Reports folder is created automatically next to PigeonCheck.exe. It contains the individual reports and summary.txt, and can be opened directly from the dedicated GUI button.
Operational classification
Indicators are correlated into a score and one of the following four classifications.
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| NO_STRONG_ANOMALIES | No significant anomalies were detected by the checks. |
| SUSPICIOUS | Some elements require further investigation. |
| HIGH_RISK | Correlated indicators suggest a high risk. |
| INCONCLUSIVE | The available evidence does not support a useful assessment. |
“No significant anomalies” does not mean “certainly safe”. Pigeon Check is a technical review tool: it is not an antivirus or sandbox and does not certify that a message is legitimate.
Local-first and privacy
Analysis runs locally. Messages may contain personal or business information and are not sent automatically to public third-party services.
