srslib 0.1.1

Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS) library for Python

srslib is a modern Python implementation of the Sender Rewriting Scheme (SRS).

Highlights:

• Compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.x;

• Implements the standard “Guarded” SRS scheme as described in the original SRS paper;

• Simple to use and understand.

Installation

pip install srslib

Example Usage

import srslib

srs = srslib.SRS('my_secret_key')

# Rewrites an email from [e-mail] to B.com
rewritten_addr = srs.forward('[e-mail]', 'B.com')
# => 'SRS0=ZPM1=67=A.com=[e-mail]'

# Reverse it to get the address to bounce to.
try:
  bounce_addr = srs.reverse(rewritten_addr)
  # => '[e-mail]'
except srslib.Error as e:
  ...  # Handle errors

Implementation

This library is a clean re-implementation of SRS in modern Python based on the original SRS paper, and taking inspiration from the canonical libsrs2 C implementation and the older pysrs library (which itself is based on the Mail::SRS Perl package).

Compared to these two libraries, srslib

• … is a clean, modern, pure-Python implementation and supports Python 3.x;

• … discards baggage from Mail::SRS around legacy schemes and settings.
