Project description

A Python module and command line parser for SPF and DMARC DNS records

usage: checkdmarc [-h] [-d] [-f FORMAT] [-o OUTPUT]
                  [-n NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...]] [-t TIMEOUT] [-v]
                  [-w WAIT]
                  domain [domain ...]

Validates and parses SPF amd DMARC DNS records

positional arguments:
  domain                one or ore domains, or a single path to a file
                        containing a list of domains

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --descriptions    include descriptions of DMARC tags in the JSON output

                        output to a file path rather than printing to the
                        screen
  -n NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...], --nameserver NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...]
                        nameservers to query
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        number of seconds to wait for an answer from DNS
                        (default 2.0)
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -w WAIT, --wait WAIT  number os seconds to wait between processing domains
                        (default 0.0)

Installation

checkdmarc requires Python 3.

On Debian or Ubuntu systems, run:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Python 3 installers for Windows and macOS can be found at https://www.python.org/downloads/

To install or upgrade to the latest stable release of checkdmarc on macOS or Linux, run

$ sudo pip3 -U install checkdmarc

Or, install the latest development release directly from GitHub:

$ sudo pip3 -U install git+https://github.com/domainaware/checkdmarc.git

Note to Windows users

On Windows, pip3 is pip, regardless if you installed Python 2 or 3. So on Windows, simply substitute pip as an administrator in place of sudo pip3, in the above commands.
