Banners Overview

Summary

INKY has three types of banners that can be applied to your emails (Neutral, Caution, Danger). This article explains the differences between these banners and when they are applied.

Banners

Neutral (Gray)

The gray banner indicates that the message has been processed by INKY, originated from an external source, but does not appear to be any type of threat.

Open

Caution (Yellow)

The yellow banner indicates that INKY has found something unusual about this email. It does necessarily mean that it is dangerous or a phishing attempt, but that you should proceed carefully. Messages with a yellow banner should be given extra scrutiny.

Open

There are three types of “Caution” banners.

(Non-Spam)

Messages identified as suspicious but do not contain SPAM-related threat details in their evaluation.

(Spam)

Messages identified as suspicious and contain certain SPAM-related threat details in their evaluation. Other threat details may also exist in addition to the SPAM-related ones.

(High Confidence Spam)

Messages identified as suspicious and that contain SPAM-related threat details in their evaluation indicating known or very likely spam content. Other threat details may also exist in addition to the SPAM-related ones.

Danger (Red)

The red banner indicates that INKY believes this message to be suspicious, and is likely to be dangerous or a phishing attempt.

There are two types of danger banners.

(Phish or Malware)

Messages identified as dangerous may contain SPAM-related threat details in their evaluation, but the other threat details included are significant enough that the message is deemed to be dangerous by INKY.

(High Confidence Phish or Malware)

Messages identified as highly dangerous. These messages often match exact known threat profiles that have been previously reported.
