[Question]: Open Report Parser: The xml file does not seem to contain a valid DMARC report. Skipped.

[robbrandt]

OK, so I am switching to reading XML files directly rather than from emails. (I have a semi automated system for doing this which I will document once I have it polished). But I can't get any of my reports to be parsed. All come up with the above error.

I've added the -d flag for more detail.

`baccount@ip-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx:~/domains/dmarc.baccount.org/public_html/Open-Report-Parser$ ./report-parser.pl -x -d ../../dmarcreports/appstate.xml

Obviously there's a lot of garbage showing in the FileContent, but it doesn't appear that way when I view it manually. And if I open it in a text editor it shows it's encoded for UTF-8 so I don't think it's an encoding error.

Ideas?

I finally found 1 report that worked, a zip file from Google.

This seems to have been resolved, but I am not sure why. Possibly I was using compressed files when I thought I was using raw xml. In the process I was using to manipulate the files the file extensions were being removed.
