``parsedmarc`` is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports.
When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana, it works as a self-hosted open source
alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such as Agari,
Dmarcian, and OnDMARC.

Features
========

* Parses draft and 1.0 standard aggregate/rua reports
* Parses forensic/failure/ruf reports
* Can parse reports from an inbox over IMAP
* Transparently handles gzip or zip compressed reports
* Consistent data structures
* Simple JSON and/or CSV output
* Optionally email the results
* Optionally send the results to Elasticsearch, for use with premade Kibana
dashboards

Resources
=========

* `Demystifying DMARC`_

SPF and DMARC record validation
===============================

If you are looking for SPF and DMARC record validation and parsing,
check out the sister project, `checkdmarc <https://domainaware.github.io/checkdmarc/>`_.

Sample aggregate report output
==============================

Here are the results from parsing the `example <https://dmarc.org/wiki/FAQ#I_need_to_implement_aggregate_reports.2C_what_do_they_look_like.3F>`_
report from the dmarc.org wiki. It's actually an older draft of the the 1.0
report schema standardized in
`RFC 7480 Appendix C <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489#appendix-C>`_.
This draft schema is still in wide use.

``parsedmarc`` produces consistent, normalized output, regardless of the report
schema.

Sample forensic report output
=============================

I don't have a sample I can share for privacy reasons. If you have a sample
forensic report that you can share publicly, please contact me!

Installation
============

``parsedmarc`` works with Python 2 or 3, but Python 3 is preferred.

On Debian or Ubuntu systems, run:

.. code-block:: bash

$ 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 ``parsedmarc`` on
macOS or Linux, run

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo -H pip3 install -U parsedmarc

Or, install the latest development release directly from GitHub:

.. code-block:: bash

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

.. note::

On Windows, ``pip3`` is ``pip``, even with Python 3. So on Windows, simply
substitute ``pip`` as an administrator in place of ``sudo pip3``, in the
above commands.

Optional dependencies
---------------------

If you would like to be able to parse emails saved from Microsoft Outlook
(i.e. OLE .msg files), install ``msgconvert``:

On Debian or Ubuntu systems, run:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo apt-get install libemail-outlook-message-perl
