07bca1ad28 Make the output and mailbox integrations optional extras (#888)
* Make the output and mailbox integrations optional extras (#883)

Breaking change for the next major release: pip install parsedmarc now
installs the parsing core plus a working core CLI (file, IMAP, Maildir,
and mbox input; CSV/JSON, Splunk HEC, webhook, and syslog output).
Everything else moves behind an extra: elastic, opensearch, kafka, s3,
gelf, loganalytics, msgraph, and gmail, joining the existing postgresql
extra, with an umbrella [all] that deliberately excludes postgresql
(psycopg's binary wheels do not exist on every platform, so
parsedmarc[all] must never fail to install there).

cli.py imports the six SDK-dependent output modules behind the #884
TYPE_CHECKING/try-except guard; a configured section whose extra is
missing fails fast with a ConfigurationError naming the section and the
exact pip install command — including the msgraph and gmail_api mailbox
sections (detected via parsedmarc.mail's placeholder classes) and
postgresql (checked before the constructor so the startup retry loop
does not retry a missing dependency for a minute). The Azure/kiota Graph
error types fall back to never-raised sentinel classes.

The Docker image installs [all,postgresql], so container users see no
change. CI lint installs [build,all,postgresql]; the unit-test job
installs [build,all], deliberately without postgresql so
test_postgres.py's absent-psycopg arm stays exercised. The
never-imported dateparser dependency is dropped in favor of declaring
python-dateutil, which utils.py actually imports; pytz moves to the
build extra for the one test that uses it.

Verified live: a no-extras wheel install imports, parses samples, and
reports the install hint for each gated section; a [all] install
restores every integration; the Docker image builds with every SDK
importable.

* Patch psycopg presence in the PostgreSQL CLI wiring tests

CI's unit-test job deliberately installs [build,all] without the
postgresql extra, so parsedmarc.cli.postgres.psycopg is None there and
the new missing-extra presence check correctly made _main exit 1 before
the wiring under test ran. The tests simulate the SDK being available
(PostgreSQLClient is mocked at the SDK boundary), so the module-level
psycopg handle is now patched present in setUp. Verified against a
simulated psycopg-absent environment as well as the local full install.

* Address Copilot review: narrow guards to ModuleNotFoundError, fix docs

- The optional-integration and Graph error-type import guards now catch
  ModuleNotFoundError instead of ImportError, so only a genuinely absent
  package reads as a missing extra; a broken-but-present SDK fails
  loudly with its real error instead of masquerading as one. The test
  blocker raises ModuleNotFoundError accordingly — the exact exception a
  missing package produces.
- _missing_extra_hint docstring no longer calls every gated integration
  an output module (it also serves the msgraph/gmail_api mailbox
  sections).
- Fix the pre-existing passsword typo in usage.md's kafka section; the
  INI key the code reads is password (cli.py _parse_config).

* Quote extras specs in copy-paste install commands

From Copilot's second review round: zsh treats an unquoted .[build,all]
as a glob and fails with 'no matches found', so the commands shown in
AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, dashboards/README.md, and the bootstrap
script's comment are now quoted. The CI workflows keep the unquoted
form: they run under bash, which passes unmatched globs through
literally. The suggestion to change the 'Choosing what to install'
heading level was rejected — it is a subsection of 'Installing
parsedmarc', matching the file's existing hierarchy.

* Fix upgrade command in the changelog

* Documentation review: accuracy, spelling, grammar, and clarity pass

A full prose review of docs/source, README, CONTRIBUTING, and the
dashboards README, with every accuracy claim verified against the code
before changing it. Highlights:

- usage.md: documented six missing [general] options (the CSV/JSON
  filename options, prettify_json, normalize_timespan_threshold_hours),
  the required kafka smtp_tls_topic, [imap] timeout/max_retries, and
  the postgresql env-var prefix; corrected the maildir_path default
  (None, not INBOX — cli.py Namespace defaults), the mailbox
  check_timeout option name, the systemd restart interval (RestartSec
  is 5m), and merged the duplicate silent entry; quoted every
  copy-paste extras spec for zsh safety.
- elasticsearch.md: fixed an invalid openssl command (rsa:4096 -nodes),
  the dashboards filename (opensearch_dashboards.ndjson, matching the
  file the link serves), and assorted grammar.
- davmail.md: the service-enable command now enables davmail.service
  (was parsedmarc.service — a copy-paste error that left DavMail
  unenabled), plus a view typo and DavMail capitalization.
- output.md: the example schema reference is RFC 7489 Appendix C
  (7480 is RDAP). kibana.md: SPF relies on the SMTP envelope, not
  session headers (RFC 7208). dmarc.md: DKM -> DKIM.
- README: the intro now also names the OpenSearch/Grafana stack,
  matching the feature list. CONTRIBUTING: pre-PR checks now include
  ruff format --check and pyright, matching CI's lint job.
- dashboards/README: the service table and seed description now include
  the PostgreSQL backend the compose stack runs.

Sample data blocks, the CLI-help mirror block, and released CHANGELOG
entries were deliberately left untouched.

* Docstring review: accuracy, spelling, grammar, and clarity pass

Every docstring in parsedmarc/, parsedmarc/mail/, the maps maintainer
scripts, and the test suite reviewed with each claim verified against
the code it documents. Text-only — no behavior changes. Highlights:

- Copy-paste errors corrected: parsed_smtp_tls_reports_to_csv and
  splunk/loganalytics save functions described aggregate or failure
  reports they do not handle; LogAnalyticsException claimed to be an
  Elasticsearch error.
- Docstring/behavior mismatches: parse_report_email's report_type
  enumeration omitted smtp_tls; parse_failure_report typed msg_date as
  str (it is datetime); strip_attachment_payloads claimed payloads are
  replaced with None (the key is deleted); kafkaclient's failure and
  SMTP TLS savers claimed per-record slicing while sending the whole
  list in one message (docstrings now describe reality — whether
  slicing was intended is flagged for follow-up); the postgres savers
  claimed to take parse_report_file's return value but receive the
  inner report dict; elastic/opensearch save functions' Raises listed
  only AlreadySaved.
- None-as-semantic-state documented where missing (get_base_domain,
  get_ip_address_country), enumeration completeness fixed
  (get_ip_address_info's 9 result keys, maps script outputs, TSV
  columns), and the stale 44-industry-types count corrected to the
  46 the authoritative README list defines.
- Test docstrings aligned with what the tests actually assert,
  including two that overstated coverage of the elastic/opensearch
  address-list tests.
- Two argparse help strings fixed: file_path now names SMTP TLS report
  files alongside aggregate and failure, mirrored into usage.md's
  CLI-help block; --offline's doubled spaces removed (rendered help
  unchanged).
- elasticsearch.md's security claim corrected against Elastic's docs:
  security is enabled and auto-configured on first startup since 8.0
  (not "8.7 secure mode"), so the settings are verified, not
  hand-written.

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.

Sponsors

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
