- Fixed `FileNotFoundError` when using Maildir with Docker volume mounts. Python's `mailbox.Maildir(create=True)` only creates `cur/new/tmp` subdirectories when the top-level directory doesn't exist; Docker volume mounts pre-create the directory as empty, skipping subdirectory creation. parsedmarc now explicitly creates the subdirectories when `maildir_create` is enabled. - Maildir UID mismatch no longer crashes the process. In Docker containers where volume ownership differs from the container UID, parsedmarc now logs a warning instead of raising an exception. Also handles `os.setuid` failures gracefully in containers without `CAP_SETUID`. - Token file writes (MS Graph and Gmail) now create parent directories automatically, preventing `FileNotFoundError` when the token path points to a directory that doesn't yet exist. - File paths from config (`token_file`, `credentials_file`, `cert_path`, `log_file`, `output`, `ip_db_path`, `maildir_path`, syslog cert paths, etc.) now expand `~` and `$VAR` references via `os.path.expanduser`/`os.path
parsedmarc
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.
