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().

# Installation
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
`parsedmarc` works with Python 3 only.
|
|
|
|
### 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 in each of the rua and ruf
|
|
tags in your DMARC record, separated by commas.
|
|
|
|
### Using a web proxy
|
|
|
|
If your system is behind a web proxy, you need to configure your system
|
|
to use that proxy. To do this, edit `/etc/environment` and add your
|
|
proxy details there, for example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
http_proxy=http://user:password@prox-server:3128
|
|
https_proxy=https://user:password@prox-server:3128
|
|
ftp_proxy=http://user:password@prox-server:3128
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or if no credentials are needed:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
http_proxy=http://prox-server:3128
|
|
https_proxy=https://prox-server:3128
|
|
ftp_proxy=http://prox-server:3128
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will set the proxy up for use system-wide, including for `parsedmarc`.
|
|
|
|
### Using Microsoft Exchange
|
|
|
|
If your mail server is Microsoft Exchange, ensure that it is patched to at
|
|
least:
|
|
|
|
- Exchange Server 2010 Update Rollup 22 ([KB4295699])
|
|
- Exchange Server 2013 Cumulative Update 21 ([KB4099855])
|
|
- Exchange Server 2016 Cumulative Update 11 ([KB4134118])
|
|
|
|
### geoipupdate setup
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
Starting in `parsedmarc` 9.8.0, a static copy of the
|
|
[IPinfo Lite] database is distributed with `parsedmarc`, under the
|
|
terms of the [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 License],
|
|
as a fallback if the [MaxMind GeoLite2 Country database] is not
|
|
installed. Prior versions bundled the DB-IP Country Lite database
|
|
instead; both share the same MMDB format, so users who have installed
|
|
either (or a MaxMind GeoLite2) database locally will continue to work
|
|
without changes.
|
|
|
|
The bundled database is automatically updated at startup by downloading
|
|
the latest copy from GitHub, unless the `offline` flag is set. The
|
|
database is cached locally and refreshed on each run (or on `SIGHUP`
|
|
in watch mode). If the download fails, a previously cached copy or the
|
|
bundled database is used as a fallback.
|
|
|
|
The download URL can be overridden with the `ip_db_url` setting, and
|
|
the location of a local database file can be overridden with the
|
|
`ip_db_path` setting.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
On Debian 10 (Buster) or later, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y geoipupdate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
[Component "contrib"] is required in your apt sources.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu systems run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:maxmind/ppa
|
|
sudo apt update
|
|
sudo apt install -y geoipupdate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On CentOS or RHEL systems, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install -y geoipupdate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The latest builds for Linux, macOS, and Windows can be downloaded
|
|
from the [geoipupdate releases page on GitHub].
|
|
|
|
On December 30th, 2019, MaxMind started requiring free accounts to
|
|
access the free Geolite2 databases, in order
|
|
[to comply with various privacy regulations].
|
|
|
|
Start by [registering for a free GeoLite2 account], and signing in.
|
|
|
|
Then, navigate to the [License Keys] page under your account,
|
|
and create a new license key for the version of
|
|
`geoipupdate` that was installed.
|
|
|
|
:::{warning}
|
|
The configuration file format is different for older (i.e. \<=3.1.1) and newer (i.e. >=3.1.1) versions
|
|
of `geoipupdate`. Be sure to select the correct version for your system.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
To check the version of `geoipupdate` that is installed, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
geoipupdate -V
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
You can use `parsedmarc` as the description for the key.
|
|
|
|
Once you have generated a key, download the config pre-filled
|
|
configuration file. This file should be saved at `/etc/GeoIP.conf`
|
|
on Linux or macOS systems, or at
|
|
`%SystemDrive%\ProgramData\MaxMind\GeoIPUpdate\GeoIP.conf` on
|
|
Windows systems.
|
|
|
|
Then run
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo geoipupdate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To download the databases for the first time.
|
|
|
|
The GeoLite2 Country, City, and ASN databases are updated weekly,
|
|
every Tuesday. `geoipupdate` can be run weekly by adding a cron
|
|
job or scheduled task.
|
|
|
|
More information about `geoipupdate` can be found at the
|
|
[MaxMind geoipupdate page].
|
|
|
|
## Installing parsedmarc
|
|
|
|
On Debian or Ubuntu systems, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install -y python3-pip python3-virtualenv python3-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On CentOS or RHEL systems, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo dnf install -y python39 python3-virtualenv python3-setuptools python3-devel libxml2-devel libxslt-devel
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Python 3 installers for Windows and macOS can be found at
|
|
<https://www.python.org/downloads/>.
|
|
|
|
Create a system user
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo mkdir /opt
|
|
sudo useradd parsedmarc -r -s /bin/false -m -b /opt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install parsedmarc in a virtualenv
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u parsedmarc virtualenv /opt/parsedmarc/venv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
CentOS/RHEL 8 systems use Python 3.6 by default, so on those systems
|
|
explicitly tell `virtualenv` to use `python3.10` instead
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u parsedmarc virtualenv -p python3.10 /opt/parsedmarc/venv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Activate the virtualenv
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
source /opt/parsedmarc/venv/bin/activate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To install or upgrade `parsedmarc` inside the virtualenv, run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -u parsedmarc /opt/parsedmarc/venv/bin/pip install -U parsedmarc
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 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:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install libemail-outlook-message-perl
|
|
```
