Suspicious Email Submitter

The Suspicious Email Submitter is an extension for common web browsers and email clients that enables the user to easily submit a suspicious email with all the information necessary to a pre-configured destination for further analysis, such as a MISP instance or email address. This repo is an addon for legacy Thunderbird (XUL-based) and is discontinued.

This project is hosted by the Computer Incident Response Center for Civil Society (CiviCERT), representing the needs of the at-risk communities Rapid Response Network member organizations serve. The extension will be built to be easily configurable for use by other organizations and communities both within and beyond these communities.

How to use Thunderbird Suspicious Email Submitter addon

The Suspicious Email Submitter legacy Thunderbird addon requires configuration or a configuration file in order to function. This can be as basic as a destination email address (entered as mailto:[email protected]) in the Server URL of the configuration file.

Globally

In the global menubar there will be an entry, “SES”, with two child items: “Edit configuration” which allows you to view and edit the current configuration, and “About Suspicious Email Submitter”, which will take you to SES’s home on the web.

Toolbars

Both the 3-pane view toolbar and the single-message-view toolbar have a button added labeled “Report via Suspicious Email Submitter”. Once SES is configured, this button will send the email off to whatever MISP upstream has been set up.

Context menu

In the mail context menu there’s a “Report via Suspicious Email Submitter” entry.
