get_reverse_dns() swallows every DNSException as None, so a transient
PTR lookup failure (timeout, SERVFAIL, socket error) is
indistinguishable from a genuine no-PTR case. When that lands on the
raw-as_name fallback branch (no map match for the ASN domain either),
the weak result was getting cached in the 4-hour IP-info cache —
locking in the misattribution even after the PTR became resolvable.
Observed in the wild: 91.244.70.212 has PTR customer.evolus-ix.com
(which the map correctly classifies as Evolus IX, ISP), but the
user's dataset showed it with source_name = raw as_name and
source_type = null — the signature of a transient PTR lookup
failure that then got cached.
Fix: skip the cache write when the row is in that specific
weak-fallback state (reverse_dns=None AND type=None AND
name=as_name). PTR-backed matches and ASN-domain matches are stable
attributions and continue to be cached as before.

* Strip invented IPinfo API behavior; keep documented-only
The IPinfo Lite API docs (https://ipinfo.io/developers/lite-api) state:
"The API has no daily or monthly limit and provides unlimited access."
Auth is documented as a ?token= query param only. The /me shown in the
docs returns geolocation for the caller's IP — it is not a documented
account/quota endpoint for Lite.
Removed everything that was speculating beyond the docs:
- The /me probe that pretended to return plan/limit/remaining fields.
- 429 rate-limit handling, 402 quota-exhausted handling, Retry-After
parsing, cooldown state, and the rate-limit warning / recovery-info
logging around them.
- The Authorization: Bearer header (not documented for Lite).
Kept:
- Lookups against the documented /lite/<ip>?token=<token> endpoint.
- 401/403 treated as a fatal invalid-token (reasonable defensive check).
- Network-error and non-2xx fallback to the bundled/cached MMDB.
- A simple startup probe that validates the token with a single lookup
and logs "IPinfo API configured" at info level.
Test consolidated to cover only documented paths: success, 401 fatal,
non-2xx fallback, and that auth goes in ?token= (not Authorization).

* AGENTS.md: warn against speculating past external-service docs
New subsection under Configuration spelling out that third-party API
integrations must start with a direct WebFetch of the canonical docs
page, not a subagent query. Calls out the two traps that produced the
IPinfo speculation: (1) asking subagents question shapes that
presuppose the answer exists, and (2) treating feature asks as "build
this" without first checking "does this apply to this service?".
Uses the now-reverted IPinfo speculation as the cautionary tale so the
next session has a concrete example to recognize the shape of the
mistake.

* Bump to 9.10.1; put removal under a new CHANGELOG section
Restored the 9.10.0 entry to its as-shipped wording and moved the
speculation-removal note into its own 9.10.1 Fixed section.
Editing the 9.10.0 entry would have misrepresented what was
actually released — the shipped tag does contain the /me probe,
429/402 cooldown, Retry-After parsing, and Bearer auth, and the
changelog should say so.

* Add optional IPinfo Lite REST API with MMDB fallback
Configure [general] ipinfo_api_token (or PARSEDMARC_GENERAL_IPINFO_API_TOKEN)
and every IP lookup hits https://api.ipinfo.io/lite/<ip> first for fresh
country + ASN data. On HTTP 429 (rate-limit) or 402 (quota), the API is
disabled for the rest of the run and lookups fall through to the bundled /
cached MMDB; transient network errors fall through per-request without
disabling the API. An invalid token (401/403) raises InvalidIPinfoAPIKey,
which the CLI catches and exits fatally — including at startup via a probe
lookup so operators notice misconfiguration immediately. Added
ipinfo_api_url as a base-URL override for mirrors or proxies.
The API token is never logged. A new _normalize_ip_record() helper is
shared between the API path and the MMDB path so both paths produce the
same normalized shape (country code, asn int, asn_name, asn_domain).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* IPinfo API: cool down and retry instead of permanent disable
Previously a single 429 or 402 disabled the API for the whole run. Now
each event sets a cooldown (using Retry-After when present, defaulting to
5 minutes for rate limits and 1 hour for quota exhaustion). Once the
cooldown expires the next lookup retries; a successful retry logs
"IPinfo API recovered" once at info level so operators can see service
came back. Repeat rate-limit responses after the first event stay at
debug to avoid log spam.
Test now targets parsedmarc.log (the actual emitting logger) instead of
the parsedmarc parent — cli._main() sets the child's level to ERROR,
and assertLogs on the parent can't see warnings filtered before
propagation. Test also exercises the cooldown-then-recovery path.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* IPinfo API: log plan and quota from /me at startup
Configure-time probe now hits https://ipinfo.io/me first. That endpoint
is documented as quota-free and doubles as a free-of-quota token check,
so we use it to both validate the token and surface plan / month-to-date
usage / remaining-quota numbers at info level:
IPinfo API configured — plan: Lite, usage: 12345/50000 this month, 37655 remaining
Field names in /me have drifted across IPinfo plan generations, so the
summary formatter probes a few aliases before giving up. If /me is
unreachable (custom mirror behind ipinfo_api_url, network error) we
fall back to the original 1.1.1.1 lookup probe, which still validates
the token and logs a generic "configured" message.

* Drop speculative ipinfo_api_url override
It was added mirroring ip_db_url, but the two serve different needs.
ip_db_url has a real use (internal hosting of the MMDB); an
authenticated IPinfo API isn't something anyone mirrors, and /me was
always hardcoded anyway, making the override half-baked. YAGNI.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* AGENTS.md: warn against speculative config options
New section under Configuration spelling out that every option is
permanent surface area and must come from a real user need rather than
pattern-matching a nearby option. Cites the removed ipinfo_api_url as
the canonical cautionary tale so the next session doesn't reintroduce
it, and calls out "override the base URL" / "configurable retries" as
common YAGNI traps.
Also requires that new options land fully wired in one PR (INI schema,
_parse_config, Namespace defaults, docs, SIGHUP-reload path) rather
than half-implemented.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Rename [general] ip_db_url to ipinfo_url
The bundled MMDB is specifically IPinfo Lite, so the option name
should say so. ip_db_url stays accepted as a deprecated alias and
logs a warning when used; env-var equivalents accept either spelling
via the existing PARSEDMARC_{SECTION}_{KEY} machinery.
Updated the AGENTS.md cautionary tale to refer to ipinfo_url (with
the note about the alias) so the anti-pattern example still reads
correctly post-rename.

* Fix testPSLDownload to reflect .akamaiedge.net override
PSL carries c.akamaiedge.net as a public suffix, but
psl_overrides.txt intentionally folds .akamaiedge.net so every
Akamai CDN-customer PTR (the aXXXX-XX.cXXXXX.akamaiedge.net pattern)
clusters under one akamaiedge.net display key. The override was added
in 2978436 as a design decision for source attribution; the test
assertion just predates it.
Updated the comment to explain why override wins over the live PSL
here so the next reader doesn't reach for the PSL answer again.

* Expand reverse-DNS map and PSL overrides from the live PSL
Parses the private-domains section of the live Public Suffix List and
adds 269 brand-owned suffixes as PSL overrides paired with map
entries, so customer subdomains on shared hosting / SaaS / PaaS
platforms fold to the operator's brand. Adds 33 ASN-domain entries
for the subset of these brands whose IP space is registered under a
different corporate domain in the MMDB, so both the PTR-derived
lookup and the ASN-fallback lookup hit the same (name, type). Also
normalizes ``a2hosting.com`` from ``A2Hosting`` to ``A2 Hosting``
for spelling consistency.
PTR-path wins (overrides + map entries)
- Web hosts: A2 Hosting, alwaysdata, Antagonist, Beget, bplaced,
Bytemark, Combell, cyber_Folks, cyon, DreamHost, EasyWP, Gehirn,
HelioHost, home.pl, HostyHosting, Hypernode, IONOS (6 suffixes),
Jotelulu, JouwWeb, KaasHosting, Keyweb, LCube, LiquidNet, McHost,
Memset, Mittwald, Mythic Beasts, NearlyFreeSpeech, Nimbus Hosting,
One.com (20 ccTLD variants), OwnProvider, Pantheon, Planet-Work,
prgmr, Rackmaze, Rad Web Hosting, Raidboxes, Servebolt,
SpeedPartner, Uberspace, Whatbox, WP Engine, ZAP-Hosting, Zitcom.
- Dynamic DNS: DuckDNS, DynDNS (24), No-IP (22), Now-DNS, dynv6,
freemyip, nsupdate.info, ddnss.de, GoIP, DrayTek.
- PaaS/SaaS/IaaS: Netlify, Vercel (6), Heroku, fly.io, Render,
Firebase/GCP (4), Azure (5), AWS (4), DigitalOcean (2), Red Hat
OpenShift, Hasura, Supabase, Snowflake/Streamlit, Read the Docs,
PythonAnywhere, GitHub, GitLab, Adobe Magento.
- Hosted sites/stores: Hatena (6), Notion, Figma, Webflow, Wix (4),
Shopify, Shopware, Sellfy, Spreadshop (19 ccTLDs), Datto.
- Email/Marketing: Fastmail, ActiveTrail, Leadpages, Heyflow, Carrd,
Typeform.
- CDN/Technology: Akamai (7), Fastly (3), Yandex Cloud.
ASN-path wins (MMDB coverage now attributes 1,184,256 more IPv4
addresses to a named brand, 85.04% -> 85.08%): yandex.com, ya.ru,
hosting.com (A2 Hosting), beget.com, cyberfolks.pl, fly.io,
bytemark.co.uk, cyberfolks.ro, keyweb.de, mittwald.de, memset.com,
zap-hosting.com, datto.com, jotelulu.com, yandex.cloud, github.com,
asavie.com (Akamai), and 16 others.
Entries are curated from the live PSL rather than any bundled copy;
brand / as_name attribution was verified against the CLAUDE.md rule
that the IP-WHOIS signal is only trusted when the domain name itself
matches the host's name (name-collisions in MMDB were skipped —
Hypernode AU, goipgroup.com, liquidnet.com, One.com substring noise,
nimbusitsolutions.com, etc.). Types follow
``base_reverse_dns_types.txt``; ``sortlists.py`` re-sorts + dedupes +
validates after the batch.

* Document PSL-derived override workflow and load_psl_overrides gotcha
Adds three pieces of map-maintenance context learned while building
this PR:
- New subsection "Discovering overrides from the live PSL
private-domains section" — distinct source from live DMARC data
(unknown_base_reverse_dns.csv) and MMDB coverage-gap analysis. The
private section is itself a list of brand-owned suffixes; each is a
candidate (psl_override + map entry) pair. Emphasizes ruthless
selectivity — most of the 600+ private-section orgs are dev
sandboxes or hobby zones that will never appear in DMARC reports.
- Two-path coverage as a single linked step, not two round-trips:
when adding a PSL override for a hosted-content suffix
(netlify.app), also add a map row for the brand's corporate
as_domain (netlify.com) in the same pass. The override fixes the
PTR path; the ASN-domain alias fixes the ASN-fallback path.
- The load_psl_overrides() fetch-first gotcha. The no-arg form pulls
the file from master on GitHub, so end-to-end testing of local
overrides silently uses the old remote version. offline=True is
required to test local changes against get_base_domain().

* Surface ASN info and fall back to it when a PTR is absent
Adds three new fields to every IP source record — ``asn`` (integer,
e.g. 15169), ``asn_name`` (``"Google LLC"``), ``asn_domain``
(``"google.com"``) — sourced from the bundled IPinfo Lite MMDB. These
flow through to CSV, JSON, Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and Splunk
outputs as ``source_asn``, ``source_asn_name``, ``source_asn_domain``.
More importantly: when an IP has no reverse DNS (common for many
large senders), source attribution now falls back to the ASN domain
as a lookup key into the same ``reverse_dns_map``. Thanks to #712
and #714, ~85% of routed IPv4 space now has an ``as_domain`` that
hits the map, so rows that were previously unattributable now get a
``source_name``/``source_type`` derived from the ASN. When the ASN
domain misses the map, the raw AS name is used as ``source_name``
with ``source_type`` left null — still better than nothing.
Crucially, ``source_reverse_dns`` and ``source_base_domain`` remain
null on ASN-derived rows, so downstream consumers can still tell a
PTR-resolved attribution apart from an ASN-derived one.
ASN is stored as an integer at the schema level (Elasticsearch /
OpenSearch mappings use ``Integer``) so consumers can do range
queries and numeric sorts; dashboards can prepend ``AS`` at display
time. The MMDB reader normalizes both IPinfo's ``"AS15169"`` string
and MaxMind's ``autonomous_system_number`` int to the same int form.
Also fixes a pre-existing caching bug in ``get_ip_address_info``:
entries without reverse DNS were never written to the IP-info cache,
so every no-PTR IP re-did the MMDB read and DNS attempt on every
call. The cache write is now unconditional.

* Bump to 9.9.0 and document the ASN fallback work
Updates the changelog with a 9.9.0 entry covering the ASN-domain
aliases (#712, #714), map-maintenance tooling fixes (#713), and the
ASN-fallback source attribution added in this branch.
Extends AGENTS.md to explain that ``base_reverse_dns_map.csv`` is now
a mixed-namespace map (rDNS bases alongside ASN domains) and adds a
short recipe for finding high-value ASN-domain misses against the
bundled MMDB, so future contributors know where the map's second
lookup path comes from.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Document project conventions previously held only in agent memory
Promotes four conventions out of per-agent memory and into AGENTS.md
so every contributor — human or agent — works from the same baseline:
- Run ruff check + format before committing (Code Style).
- Store natively numeric values as numbers, not pre-formatted strings
(e.g. ASN as int 15169, not "AS15169"; ES/OS mappings as Integer)
(Code Style).
- Before rewriting a tracked list/data file from freshly-generated
content, verify the existing content via git — these files
accumulate manually-curated entries across sessions (Editing tracked
data files).
- A release isn't done until hatch-built sdist + wheel are attached to
the GitHub release page; full 8-step sequence documented (Releases).

Adds 43 more high-confidence aliases from the top IPv4-weighted misses
remaining after #712. Bumps ASN-domain coverage of the bundled ipinfo
lite MMDB from 84.0% to 85.0% — modest, as expected; the tail is a
long list of small ASNs where diminishing returns kick in hard.
This is the last bulk alias pass. Any remaining gap should be filled
by falling back to the raw `as_name` from the MMDB at attribution
time, not by continuing to hand-classify thousands of small ASNs.
Also promotes nask.pl out of known_unknown_base_reverse_dns.txt —
NASK is the Polish national research and academic network, which is
unambiguous from ASN context.

sortlists.py had three bugs that let bad data through:
- The `type` column validator was keyed on "Type" (capital T) but the
CSV header is "type" (lowercase), so every row bypassed validation.
- `types` was read via `f.readlines()` without stripping, so even if
the key had matched, values like `"ISP\n"` would never equal `"ISP"`.
- The map was sorted case-sensitively, but README and AGENTS.md both
state the map is sorted alphabetically case-insensitive.
Fixing the validator surfaced eight pre-existing rows with invalid or
inconsistent `type` values. All are now corrected:
- Two types listed in README but missing from base_reverse_dns_types.txt
(Religion, Utilities) have been added so the README and authoritative
types file agree.
- dhl.com, ghm-grenoble.fr, regusnet.com had lowercase-casing type
values (`logistics`, `healthcare`, `Real estate`) corrected to match
the canonical spellings.
- lodestonegroup.com was typed `Insurance`, which is not a listed
industry; reclassified as `Finance` (the closest listed category
for an insurance brokerage).
Also fixes one stale map entry: `rt.ru` was listed as `RT,Government
Media`, conflating Rostelecom (the Russian telco that owns and uses
rt.ru) with RT / Russia Today (which uses rt.com). Corrected to
`Rostelecom,ISP`.
Switching to case-insensitive sort moves exactly one row — the sole
mixed-case key `United-domains.de` — from the top of the file (where
ASCII ordering placed it before all lowercase keys) into the "united"
range where human readers would expect it.

* Add ASN-domain aliases to base_reverse_dns_map.csv
Adds 457 entries keyed on the `as_domain` values that ship in
`ipinfo_lite.mmdb`, so that the existing reverse_dns_map can serve as
a lookup table for IPs that resolve no PTR — the common case for many
large senders.
Before this change only ~33.8% of routed IPv4 space had an `as_domain`
that matched a map key; after, ~84.0%. All additions are brands that
were already represented in the map under a different rDNS-base key
(e.g. `comcast.com` alongside the existing `comcast.net`), plus a
handful of well-known operators that previously had no representation
at all.
Also promotes 10 entries out of known_unknown_base_reverse_dns.txt
(a1.net, actcorp.in, ais.co.th, emirates.net.ae, eolo.it, fpt.vn,
ibm.com, movilnet.com.ve, ote.gr, singnet.com.sg) — each is a
well-known operator whose identity is unambiguous from ASN context
even if the original rDNS base alone was inconclusive.
No code changes; this is purely data, in preparation for a follow-up
that wires `as_domain` into the source-attribution fallback path when
a report row has no reverse DNS.

Switch the bundled IP-to-country database from DB-IP Country Lite to
IPinfo Lite for greater lookup accuracy. The download URL, cached
filename, and packaged module path all move from
dbip/dbip-country-lite.mmdb to ipinfo/ipinfo_lite.mmdb.
IPinfo Lite uses a different MMDB schema (flat country_code) that is
incompatible with geoip2's Reader.country() helper, so get_ip_address_country()
now uses maxminddb directly and handles both the IPinfo schema and
the MaxMind/DBIP nested country.iso_code schema so users who drop in
their own MMDB from any of these providers continue to work.
Drop the geoip2 dependency (it was only used for the incompatible
helper) and add maxminddb as a direct dependency — it was already
installed transitively through geoip2.
Callers that imported parsedmarc.resources.dbip directly need to switch
to parsedmarc.resources.ipinfo. Old parsedmarc versions downloading
from the dbip/ GitHub raw URL will 404 and fall back to their bundled
copy — this is the documented behavior of load_ip_db().

Port DNS reliability fixes from checkdmarc 5.15.x: cap per-query UDP
timeout at min(1.0, timeout) so a single dropped datagram no longer
consumes the entire lifetime budget, scale lifetime by nameserver count
for proper failover, and add a retries kwarg that retries on
LifetimeTimeout, NoNameservers (SERVFAIL), and OSError during TCP
fallback (NXDOMAIN and NoAnswer remain non-retryable).
Thread dns_retries through the parser API and expose it via
--dns-retries / the dns_retries INI option. Centralize DNS defaults in
parsedmarc.constants and add RECOMMENDED_DNS_NAMESERVERS for opt-in
cross-provider failover.

Should have caught this on previous fix for since. the current time is used on line 2145: connection.fetch_messages(reports_folder, since=current_time)
if that code is called and it usually won't be depending upon configuration it will fail with the time format being wrong: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss.zzzzzz+00:00Z --- this removes the extra "Z" that is not needed since utc offset is already specified and becomes invalid.
- Fixed `FileNotFoundError` when using Maildir with Docker volume mounts. Python's `mailbox.Maildir(create=True)` only creates `cur/new/tmp` subdirectories when the top-level directory doesn't exist; Docker volume mounts pre-create the directory as empty, skipping subdirectory creation. parsedmarc now explicitly creates the subdirectories when `maildir_create` is enabled.
- Maildir UID mismatch no longer crashes the process. In Docker containers where volume ownership differs from the container UID, parsedmarc now logs a warning instead of raising an exception. Also handles `os.setuid` failures gracefully in containers without `CAP_SETUID`.
- Token file writes (MS Graph and Gmail) now create parent directories automatically, preventing `FileNotFoundError` when the token path points to a directory that doesn't yet exist.
- File paths from config (`token_file`, `credentials_file`, `cert_path`, `log_file`, `output`, `ip_db_path`, `maildir_path`, syslog cert paths, etc.) now expand `~` and `$VAR` references via `os.path.expanduser`/`os.path
- Fixed `FileNotFoundError` when using Maildir with Docker volume mounts. Python's `mailbox.Maildir(create=True)` only creates `cur/new/tmp` subdirectories when the top-level directory doesn't exist; Docker volume mounts pre-create the directory as empty, skipping subdirectory creation. parsedmarc now explicitly creates the subdirectories when `maildir_create` is enabled.
Fix formatting of ISO 8601 date strings for MSGraphConnection. format yyyy-dd-mmThh:MM:SS.zzzzzz+00:00 already has a timezone indicated. The extra Z is invalid in this format. specifying a "since" in config file causes msgraph to error due to invalid time stamp.
Add environment variable configuration support and update documentation
- Introduced support for configuration via environment variables using the `PARSEDMARC_{SECTION}_{KEY}` format.
- Added `PARSEDMARC_CONFIG_FILE` variable to specify the config file path.
- Enabled env-only mode for file-less Docker deployments.
- Implemented explicit read permission checks on config files.
- Updated changelog and usage documentation to reflect these changes.
### Added
- Extracted `load_reverse_dns_map()` utility function in `utils.py` for loading the reverse DNS map independently of individual IP lookups.
- SIGHUP reload now re-downloads/reloads the reverse DNS map, so changes take effect without restarting.
- Add premade OpenSearch index patterns, visualizations, and dashboards
### Changed
- When `index_prefix_domain_map` is configured, SMTP TLS reports for domains not in the map are now silently dropped instead of being output. Unlike DMARC, TLS-RPT has no DNS authorization records, so this filtering prevents processing reports for unrelated domains.
- Bump OpenSearch support to `< 4`
### Fixed
- Fixed `get_index_prefix` using wrong key (`domain` instead of `policy_domain`) for SMTP TLS reports, which prevented domain map matching from working for TLS reports.
- Domain matching in `get_index_prefix` now lowercases the domain for case-insensitive comparison.
Elasticsearch and OpenSearch now verify SSL certificates by default when `ssl = True`, even without a `cert_path`
- Added `skip_certificate_verification` option to the `elasticsearch` and `opensearch` configuration sections for consistency with `splunk_hec`
- Splunk HEC `skip_certificate_verification` now works correctly with self-signed certificates
- SMTP TLS reports no longer fail when saving to multiple output targets (e.g. Elasticsearch and OpenSearch) due to in-place mutation of the report dict
- Output client initialization errors now identify which module failed (e.g. "OpenSearch: ConnectionError..." instead of generic "Output client error")
- Enhanced error handling for output client initialization
- Better checking of `msconfig` configuration (PR #695)
- Updated `dbip-country-lite` database to version `2026-03`
- Changed - DNS query error logging level from `warning` to `debug`
