MHA: Mail Header Analyzer
Mail Header Analyzer (MHA)
What is MHA:
Mail header analyzer is a tool written in [flask] (http://flask.pocoo.org/) for parsing email headers and converting them to a human-readable format and it also can:
- Identify hop delays.
- Identify the source of the email.
- Identify hop country.
MHA is an alternative for the following:
