Sean Whalen 67f46a7ec9 DNS lookup reliability improvements (9.7.1) (#710)
Port DNS reliability fixes from checkdmarc 5.15.x: cap per-query UDP
timeout at min(1.0, timeout) so a single dropped datagram no longer
consumes the entire lifetime budget, scale lifetime by nameserver count
for proper failover, and add a retries kwarg that retries on
LifetimeTimeout, NoNameservers (SERVFAIL), and OSError during TCP
fallback (NXDOMAIN and NoAnswer remain non-retryable).

Thread dns_retries through the parser API and expose it via
--dns-retries / the dns_retries INI option. Centralize DNS defaults in
parsedmarc.constants and add RECOMMENDED_DNS_NAMESERVERS for opt-in
cross-provider failover.

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.
