How to Verify if a Received Email Comes from MGHost.pl?
2025.05.27 12:53
Every day, millions of emails land in inboxes - unfortunately, many of them are fraudulent. Scammers impersonate well-known companies in an attempt to steal data, money, or even gain access to accounts. That’s why it’s so important to verify whether the email you received really comes from MGHost.pl - or any other trusted partner.
Pay attention to the sender's address – but don’t be fooled
At first glance, the email may look legitimate, e.g.:
From: MGHost contact@mghost.pl
But in reality, subtle manipulations are possible, such as:
From: MGHost contact@mghost-pl.com
From: MGHost contact@mg-host.pl
🔎 Carefully verify the email domain – the address must end with @mghost.pl. Fraudulent domains can look very similar. Pay attention to:
- extra characters (-, .com, 1),
- typos,
- other domain suffixes.
Check the email headers
Email headers are technical details hidden in the email that show where the message actually came from. Most email programs allow you to view them:
- in Gmail: "Show original",
- in Outlook: "View message source",
- in Thunderbird: "Show source".
Look for entries like:
- Return-Path: contact@mghost.pl,
- Received: from mail.mghost.pl,
- DKIM-Signature or SPF: pass.
✅ If the email contains relevant information indicating it came from our servers (e.g., "contact@mghost.pl" and other entries pointing to our domain), it’s a good sign that the message is authentic and was sent by our server.
DKIM and SPF are technical security mechanisms that help verify if the email really came from our server. If you see entries related to our domain in the headers, and the DKIM and SPF tests indicate pass (meaning "successful"), it’s a sign that the message is legitimate and comes from us.

Trust only official channels
MGHost uses only official addresses in the '@mghost.pl' domain. If you receive an email from another address – even if it looks credible – be cautious.
📌 Official addresses may look like:
- contact@mghost.pl,
- abuse@mghost.pl,
- support@mghost.pl.
We never send emails from free accounts like @gmail.com, @wp.pl, or other subdomains.
Verify links before clicking!
A link in the email may look legitimate, e.g.:
But when you hover over it, it may lead elsewhere:
https://panel.mgh0st-1.pl
🛑 Never click a link if you have the slightest doubt. Always hover over it first to check the destination address, and preferably type the address manually in your browser: https://mghost.pl or https://panel.mghost.pl. Also, remember that if we direct you to any resources, we indicate whether they are internal or external and whether they are safe. For your convenience, we’ve created safe and recommended resources, such as:
Pay attention to the language of the message
Fraudulent emails often contain:
- typos and grammatical errors,
- suspicious attachments (.zip, .exe, .docm),
- urgent calls to action ("Your account will be deleted!"),
- unusual requests ("Transfer funds for the invoice to the new account").
