Project description

Build Status

A Python module and command line utility for validating SPF and DMARC DNS records

usage: checkdmarc [-h] [-p] [--ns NS [NS ...]] [--mx MX [MX ...]] [-d]
                  [-f FORMAT] [-o OUTPUT] [-n NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...]]
                  [-t TIMEOUT] [-v] [-w WAIT] [--debug]
                  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
  -p, --parked          indicate that the domains are parked
  --ns NS [NS ...]      approved nameservers
  --mx MX [MX ...]      approved MX hostnames
  -d, --descriptions    include descriptions of DMARC tags in the JSON output
  -f FORMAT, --format FORMAT
                        specify JSON or CSV output format
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        output to a file path rather than printing to the
                        screen
  -n NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...], --nameserver NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...]
                        nameservers to query (Default is Cloudflare's
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        number of seconds to wait for an answer from DNS
                        (default 6.0)
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -w WAIT, --wait WAIT  number of seconds to wait between processing domains
                        (default 0.0)
  --debug               Enable debugging output
