💖 opendmarc-params — the OpenDMARC reporting parameters setup tool, bestie edition

okay so real quick, the manual name is opendmarc-params(8) and it lives in the System Manager's Manual section, which basically means it's a big-kid admin tool. and she EATS. let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

opendmarc-params — OpenDMARC reporting parameters setup tool 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

opendmarc-params [options] domain

like. that's it. options, then a domain. slay.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: opendmarc-params records a specific reporting address for aggregate reports about the domain you name, and it flags that address as "locked" in the reporting requests database.

why tho? because it lets an admin force generation of reports and have them sent to one specific address — no matter what data may (or may not 😭) be found in the DNS for the domain you named. no cap, it just overrides the DNS tea entirely.

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • --dbhost=host — tries to connect to the database server on the named host. default is localhost 💻
  • --dbname=name — asks for a connection to the database called name. default is opendmarc 🗂️
  • --dbpasswd=password — tries to authenticate to the database server using the given password. default is opendmarc 🔐
  • --dbport=port — tries to connect to the database at the specified TCP port. default is 3306 🔌
  • --dbuser=user — tries to authenticate to the database server as the specified user. default is opendmarc 🙋
  • --help — prints a usage message and exits. your girl is helpful like that 🫶
  • --rua=string — sets the reporting URI for the named domain to the specified string. this is the main character right here ⭐
  • --unlock — unlocks the record for the named domain 🔓
  • --verbose — requests verbose output. give me ALL the details 🗣️
  • --version — prints the version number and exits ✨
