``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.

Installation using pypy3
------------------------

For the best possible processing speed, consider using `parsedmarc` inside a ``pypy3``
virtualenv. First, `download the latest version of pypy3`_. Extract it to
``/opt/pypy3`` (``sudo mkdir /opt`` if ``/opt`` does not exist), then create a
symlink:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo ln -s /opt/pypy3/bin/pypy3 /usr/local/bin/pypy3

Install ``virtualenv`` on your system:

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
$ sudo -H pip3 install -U virtualenv

Uninstall any instance of ``parsedmarc`` that you may have installed globally

.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo -H pip3 uninstall -y parsedmarc

Next, create a ``pypy3`` virtualenv for parsedmarc


.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo mkdir /opt/venvs
$ cd /opt/venvs
$ sudo -H pip3 install -U virtualenv
$ sudo virtualenv --download -p /usr/local/bin/pypy3 parsedmarc
$ sudo -H /opt/venvs/parsedmarc/bin/pip3 install -U parsedmarc
$ sudo ln -s /opt/venvs/parsedmarc/bin/parsedmarc /usr/local/bin/parsedmarc

To upgrade ``parsedmarc`` inside the virtualenv, run:


.. code-block:: bash

$ sudo -H /opt/venvs/parsedmarc/bin/pip3 install -U parsedmarc

Or, install the latest development release directly from GitHub:

.. code-block:: bash

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

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

DNS performance
---------------

You can often improve performance by providing one or more local nameservers
to the CLI or function calls, as long as those nameservers return the same
records as the public DNS.


.. note::

If you do not specify any nameservers, Cloudflare's public nameservers are
used by default, **not the system's default nameservers**.

This is done to avoid a situation where records in a local nameserver do
not match records in the public DNS.

Testing multiple report analyzers
---------------------------------

If you would like to test parsedmarc and another report processing solution
at the same time, you can have up to two mailto URIs each in the rua and ruf
tags tgs in your DMARC record, separated by commas.
