Fabio Scaccabarozzi 327fcff2b9 Add optional PostgreSQL storage backend (#667)
Adds a PostgreSQL output backend as a lighter-weight alternative to
Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, configured via a [postgresql] section
(host/port/user/password/database or a libpq connection_string). Tables
are created automatically on first run; a Grafana dashboard is included.

- psycopg is an optional extra (pip install parsedmarc[postgresql]); the
  import is guarded so `import parsedmarc` works without it, and
  PostgreSQLClient raises a clear install hint when constructed without
  the driver. Binary wheels aren't available for every platform.
- Schema captures the RFC 9990 / DMARCbis aggregate fields: np, testing,
  discovery_method, generator, xml_namespace, and per-result human_result
  on the DKIM/SPF auth-result tables.
- forensic -> failure naming throughout (table dmarc_failure_report,
  save_failure_report_to_postgresql, dashboard, docs) to match #659.
- Failure-report de-duplication mirrors the Elasticsearch backend exactly:
  arrival date + From + To + Subject (NULL-safe via IS NOT DISTINCT FROM;
  semantic JSONB equality). Aggregate and SMTP-TLS use ON CONFLICT.
- PostgreSQLClient.close() for clean CLI shutdown; comment documents why
  the two timestamp helpers must stay distinct (report dates are local,
  record/SMTP-TLS dates are UTC).
- CLI: config parse raises ConfigurationError on missing
  host/connection_string; wired into _init_output_clients + save loops.
- Tests in tests/test_postgres.py (helpers, mocked-DB save assertions,
  create_tables, connect/error wrapping, dedup, real-sample round trip)
  and tests/test_cli.py (config parse + end-to-end save wiring incl.
  AlreadySaved/PostgreSQLError handling). postgres.py at 99% line
  coverage; only _main's output-client-init retry path is left.

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), 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.
