Where Fidro differs from EmailRep

More than the email

EmailRep checks the email. Fidro checks the email, the IP, the network and the location in the same call, and remembers what it has seen before.

A decision, not a data point

Every call returns a score from 0 to 100 and allow, challenge or block, with the reasons. Your code acts on one field instead of building its own scoring.
