Spent 6 hours on a simple email phishing filter
Got a suspicious email last Tuesday. Looked legit. Big company logo. Urgent request. Almost clicked. Decided to check the headers. Took me forever to find the right menu. Then another hour figuring out the IP address. Six hours total for what should have been a 20 minute thing. Anyone else get bogged down tracing email origins?

That "kicking yourself" part is painfully accurate. I actually read somewhere that most people give up way before they get to the bottom of an email header, so you're already ahead of the curve.
