parsedmarc is a Python module and CLI utility for parsing DMARC reports. When used with Elasticsearch and Kibana (or Splunk), or with OpenSearch and Grafana, it works as a self-hosted open source alternative to commercial DMARC report processing services such as Agari Brand Protection, Dmarcian, OnDMARC, ProofPoint Email Fraud Defense, and Valimail.

Features

  • Parses aggregate/rua DMARC reports: the legacy draft and 1.0 schemas (RFC 7489) and the new RFC 9990 schema for the final DMARC standard (RFC 9989)

  • Parses failure/ruf DMARC reports (RFC 6591 and RFC 9991; formerly called forensic reports)

  • Parses reports from SMTP TLS Reporting (TLS-RPT, RFC 8460)

  • Can parse reports from an inbox over IMAP, Microsoft Graph, or Gmail API

  • 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, OpenSearch, Splunk, or PostgreSQL, for use with premade dashboards

  • Optionally send the results to Apache Kafka, Amazon S3, Azure Log Analytics (Microsoft Sentinel), a Graylog (GELF) endpoint, a syslog server, or an HTTP webhook
