What is Sisimai
Sisimai is a Perl module for analyzing RFC5322 bounce emails and generating structured data from parsed results. Sisimai is the system formerly known as bounceHammer 4. Sisimai is a coined word: Sisi (the number 4 is pronounced Si in Japanese) and MAI (acronym of Mail Analyzing Interface).
Key Features
- Convert Bounce Mails to Structured Data
- Supported formats are Perl and JSON
- Easy to Install, Use.
- cpanm
- git clone & make
- High Precision of Analysis
- 2 times higher than bounceHammer
- Support 22 known MTAs and 5 unknown MTAs
- Support 21 major MSPs(Mail Service Providers)
- Support 2 major Cloud Email Delivery Services(JSON format)
- Support Feedback Loop Message(ARF)
- Can detect 27 error reasons
- Faster than bounceHammer version 2.7.13p3
- About 1.7 times faster

Usage
Basic usage
make() method provides feature for getting parsed data from bounced email
messages like following.
#! /usr/bin/env perl
use Sisimai;
my $v = Sisimai->make('/path/to/mbox'); # or path to Maildir/
# If you want to get bounce records which reason is "delivered", set "delivered"
# option to make() method like the following:
my $v = Sisimai->make('/path/to/mbox', 'delivered' => 1);
if( defined $v ) {
for my $e ( @$v ) {
print ref $e; # Sisimai::Data
print ref $e->recipient; # Sisimai::Address
print ref $e->timestamp; # Sisimai::Time
print $e->addresser->address; # shironeko@example.org # From
print $e->recipient->address; # kijitora@example.jp # To
print $e->recipient->host; # example.jp
print $e->deliverystatus; # 5.1.1
print $e->replycode; # 550
print $e->reason; # userunknown
my $h = $e->damn(); # Convert to HASH reference
my $j = $e->dump('json'); # Convert to JSON string
print $e->dump('json'); # JSON formatted bounce data
}
}
# Get JSON string from parsed mailbox or Maildir/
my $j = Sisimai->dump('/path/to/mbox'); # or path to Maildir/
# dump() is added in v4.1.27
print $j; # parsed data as JSON
# dump() method also accepts "delivered" option like the following code:
my $j = Sisimai->dump('/path/to/mbox', 'delivered' => 1);
Read bounce object(JSON)
The way to read a bounce object retrived from Cloud Email Services as JSON using their API is the following code. This feature is available at Sisimai 4.20.0 or later.
#! /usr/bin/env perl
use JSON;
use Sisimai;
my $j = JSON->new;
my $q = '{"json":"string",...}'
my $v = Sisimai->make($j->decode($q), 'input' => 'json');
if( defined $v ) {
for my $e ( @$v ) { ... }
}
As of present, Only Amazon SES and SendGrid are supported.
Callback Feature
Beginning with Sisimai 4.19.0, make() and dump() methods of Sisimai accept
a sub routine reference in hook argument for setting a callback method and
getting the results generated by the method via Sisimai::Data->catch method.
#! /usr/bin/env perl
use Sisimai;
my $callbackto = sub {
my $emdata = shift;
my $caught = { 'x-mailer' => '' };
if( $emdata->{'message'} =~ m/^X-Mailer:\s*(.+)$/m ) {
$caught->{'x-mailer'} = $1;
}
return $caught;
};
my $data = Sisimai->make('/path/to/mbox', 'hook' => $callbackto);
my $json = Sisimai->dump('/path/to/mbox', 'hook' => $callbackto);
print $data->[0]->catch->{'x-mailer'}; # Apple Mail (2.1283)
More information about the callback feature is available at Sisimai | How To Parse - Callback Page.
One-Liner
Beginning with Sisimai 4.1.27, dump() method is available and you can get parsed
data as JSON using the method.
% perl -MSisimai -lE 'print Sisimai->dump(shift)' /path/to/mbox
