Project description

Build Status

A Python module and command line utility for validating SPF and DMARC DNS records

usage: checkdmarc [-h] [-d] [-f FORMAT] [-o OUTPUT]
              [-n NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...]] [-t TIMEOUT] [-v]
              [-w WAIT]
              domain [domain ...]

Validates and parses SPF amd DMARC DNS records

positional arguments:
  domain                one or ore domains, or a single path to a file
                        containing a list of domains

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --descriptions    include descriptions of DMARC tags in the JSON output

                        output to a file path rather than printing to the
                        screen
  -n NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...], --nameserver NAMESERVER [NAMESERVER ...]
                        nameservers to query
  -t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
                        number of seconds to wait for an answer from DNS
                        (default 6.0)
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -w WAIT, --wait WAIT  number os seconds to wait between processing domains
