WarningOther

Link has a very long query string (>250 chars) — typical of phishing payload URLs

href-long-query-string

What this tier means

Warning signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. Contributes to the trash score but is not by itself sufficient.

How Gorganizer detects this

A link href has a query string (the part after `?`) longer than 250 characters. Legit marketing URLs carry UTM parameters and tracking IDs but cluster around 100-150 chars — MailChimp / SendGrid / HubSpot / Klaviyo / Mailgun campaign URLs effectively never exceed 200. Phishing URLs routinely push past 500 chars because they encode the victim's email, an attacker session blob, a base64-wrapped payload that restores the landing page state after a redirect chain, and sometimes a full serialized form to pre-fill a credential harvest. Weight: +2 — moderate-low, combines with other signals (suspicious TLD, raw IP, non-standard port) to build a composite phishing-kit picture rather than solo-triggering. The fragment (`#...`) is deliberately excluded from the length count because SPAs legitimately store client-state in fragments and the fragment is never sent to the server.

False-positive guard

Every signal in Gorganizer feeds a multi-module score — never a sole verdict. This is a warning-tier signal — bulk / marketing / mild spam. It contributes to the trash score but never triggers deletion on its own. Gorganizer requires multiple signals + a margin over the safety floor before any email is moved to trash.

About the scoring engine

Gorganizer's scoring engine emits over 1,800 signals across six modules — headers, sender, subject, body, attachments, and structural metadata. Every email is scored by every module independently; the final verdict requires multiple modules to agree and the trash score to beat the safety floor by a margin.

Sacred safety guards — never delete starred emails, replies, calendar invites, receipts/invoices, or attachments — apply unconditionally regardless of any signal.
