# mail-parser

mail-parser is not only a wrapper for [email](https://docs.python.org/2/library/email.message.html) Python Standard Library.
It give you an easy way to pass from raw mail to Python object that you can use in your code.
It's the key module of [SpamScope](https://github.com/SpamScope/spamscope).

mail-parser can parse Outlook email format (.msg). To use this feature, you need to install `libemail-outlook-message-perl` package. For Debian based systems:

```
$ apt-get install libemail-outlook-message-perl
```

For more details:

```
$ apt-cache show libemail-outlook-message-perl
```

mail-parser supports Python 3.

# Description

mail-parser takes as input a raw email and generates a parsed object. The properties of this object are the same name of
[RFC headers](https://www.iana.org/assignments/message-headers/message-headers.xhtml):

  - bcc
  - cc
  - date
  - delivered_to
  - from\_ (not `from` because is a keyword of Python)
  - message_id
  - received
  - reply_to
  - subject
  - to

There are other properties to get:
  - body
  - body html
  - body plain
  - headers
  - attachments
  - sender IP address
  - to domains
  - timezone

The `attachments` property is a list of objects. Every object has the following keys:
  - binary: it's true if the attachment is a binary
  - charset
  - content_transfer_encoding
  - content-disposition
  - content-id
  - filename
  - mail_content_type
  - payload: attachment payload in base64

To get custom headers you should replace "-" with "\_".
Example for header `X-MSMail-Priority`:

```
$ mail.X_MSMail_Priority
```

The `received` header is parsed and splitted in hop. The fields supported are:
 - by
 - date
 - date_utc
 - delay (between two hop)
 - envelope_from
 - envelope_sender
 - for
 - from
 - hop
 - with


mail-parser can detect defect in mail:
  - [defects](https://docs.python.org/2/library/email.message.html#email.message.Message.defects): mail with some not compliance RFC part

All properties have a JSON and raw property that you can get with:
 - name_json
 - name_raw

Example:

```
$ mail.to (Python object)
$ mail.to_json (JSON)
$ mail.to_raw (raw header)
```

The command line tool use the JSON format.

## Defects
These defects can be used to evade the antispam filter. An example are the mails with a malformed boundary that can hide a not legitimate epilogue (often malware).
This library can take these epilogues.

# Installation

Clone repository

```
git clone https://github.com/SpamScope/mail-parser.git
```

and install mail-parser with `setup.py`:

```
$ cd mail-parser

$ python setup.py install
```

or use `pip`:

```
$ pip install mail-parser
```

# Usage in a project

Import `mailparser` module:

```
import mailparser

mail = mailparser.parse_from_bytes(byte_mail)
mail = mailparser.parse_from_file(f)
mail = mailparser.parse_from_file_msg(outlook_mail)
mail = mailparser.parse_from_file_obj(fp)
mail = mailparser.parse_from_string(raw_mail)
```

Then you can get all parts

```
mail.attachments: list of all attachments
mail.body
mail.date: datetime object in UTC
mail.defects: defect RFC not compliance
mail.defects_categories: only defects categories
mail.delivered_to
mail.from_
mail.get_server_ipaddress(trust="my_server_mail_trust")
mail.headers
mail.mail: tokenized mail in a object
mail.message: email.message.Message object
mail.message_as_string: message as string
mail.message_id
mail.received
mail.subject
mail.text_plain: only text plain mail parts in a list
mail.text_html: only text html mail parts in a list
mail.text_not_managed: all not managed text (check the warning logs to find content subtype)
mail.to
mail.to_domains
mail.timezone: returns the timezone, offset from UTC
mail.mail_partial: returns only the mains parts of emails
```

It's possible to write the attachments on disk with the method:

```
mail.write_attachments(base_path)
```

# Usage from command-line

If you installed mailparser with `pip` or `setup.py` you can use it with command-line.

These are all swithes:

```
usage: mailparser [-h] (-f FILE | -s STRING | -k)
                   [-l {CRITICAL,ERROR,WARNING,INFO,DEBUG,NOTSET}] [-j] [-b]
                   [-a] [-r] [-t] [-dt] [-m] [-u] [-c] [-d] [-o]
                   [-i Trust mail server string] [-p] [-z] [-v]

It takes as input a raw mail and generates a parsed object.
```

Example:
