Sean WhalenandClaude Fable 5 5c0192e720 Match backfill guard on either domain or result subfield
End-to-end upgrade testing (real parsedmarc 10.2.4 ingest, then a
branch startup) surfaced that an exists query cannot see an empty
string: a text field with no tokens is invisible to exists. The
parsers we audited never store an auth result with an empty or
missing domain — they drop such entries entirely, so the previous
domain-only guard was sufficient for their data — but the storage
shape of every historical parsedmarc version can't be audited, so
the guard (and the documented manual command) now matches either
the domain or the result subfield per protocol. Matching either
costs nothing and cannot skip a document that has something to
backfill.

Verified by recomputing expected combined values from _source for
all 2,299 documents on both engines: every document with stored
auth results has exactly the recomputed pairs, and the legacy fo
migration correctly did not fire on typeless indexes.

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.

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
