2. Recipient Information: The tool will identify the recipient's email address and domain.
3. Mail Server Information: The tool will identify the mail server that sent the email, including the IP address, domain, and mail server type (e.g., SMTP, POP3, IMAP).

8. Blacklist Check: The tool will check the sender's IP address and domain against various blacklists, including Spamhaus, SORBS, and others.
