Sean WhalenandClaude Fable 5 07b00a931b Warn on unmatched CLI paths; send Kafka failure/SMTP TLS reports per-report (#890)
Fixes the two remaining bugs and the nits uncovered during the review
session:

- The CLI logs a warning for each file_path argument that matches no
  files, instead of silently succeeding with empty results — a typo'd
  path in a cron job previously 'worked' forever while processing
  nothing (_expand_file_path_args dropped it as a zero-match glob).
  Deliberately a warning, not an error: a glob legitimately matching
  nothing must not break existing workflows, and mailbox-only runs
  stay silent.

- save_failure_reports_to_kafka and save_smtp_tls_reports_to_kafka now
  send one message per report, mirroring the aggregate saver's
  per-slice sends. Every released version documented per-record sends,
  but the code sent the whole list as one message, which a large batch
  — failure reports carry message samples — could push past Kafka's
  default 1MB message limit. Consumer-visible: these topics now carry
  individual report objects, not one JSON array per batch.

- The CLI module docstring and argparse description now mention SMTP
  TLS reports; usage.md's CLI-help mirror regenerated.

- The elastic/opensearch to_header display-name tests now assert the
  joined 'RT <rcpt@example.com>' string reaches the saved document
  (autospec save), plus the exactly-once call, instead of only that
  save ran.

A screenshot of DMARC summary charts in Kibana

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.

Note

Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance (DMARC) is an email authentication protocol.

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
