Safe email forwarding gateway
Why Choose This Project?
Forwarding emails without security checks can expose users to phishing, malware, and data leakage risks. Attackers often exploit email forwarding rules to silently redirect confidential communications. This project builds a secure forwarding gateway that sanitizes, encrypts, and validates emails before forwarding them, ensuring users receive only safe and verified content. It is particularly useful for organizations where sensitive data is shared over email.
What You Get in This Project
A secure middleware system (gateway) that sits between incoming mail servers and the user’s inbox. It validates, sanitizes, and forwards emails safely, while applying phishing, malware, and spam detection policies.

How Safe Email Forwarding Gateway Works
Email Reception
-
Incoming email arrives at the forwarding gateway (via SMTP).
Security Validation
-
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC checks.
-
TLS enforcement for transport security.
-
Malware scanning for attachments.
Content Sanitization
-
Removes malicious scripts/macros.
-
Rewrites or blocks suspicious URLs.
Forwarding Rules Check
-
Matches organization/user forwarding rules.
-
Blocks/flags unauthorized redirections.
Forwarding & Alerts
-
Safe emails → forwarded to intended recipient.
-
Suspicious emails → quarantined + notification sent.
Security Features
-
SPF/DKIM/DMARC validation for sender authenticity
-
TLS-only forwarding (no unencrypted hops)
-
Malware/virus scanning with ClamAV or VirusTotal API
-
Quarantine system for suspicious messages
-
Role-based access (Admin/User)
-
Immutable audit trail of forwarded emails
-
Optional end-to-end encryption (PGP/S/MIME)
