Hello,
I noticed in the 9.3.3 announcement the following new SPF check:
Adds a new configuration option, "check-spf"; valid values are
"warn" (default) and "ignore". When set to "warn", checks SPF
and TXT records in spf format, warning if either resource record
type occurs without a corresponding record of the other resource
record type. [RT #33355]
I'm a bit curious about this because I thought that the SPF record type
was being deprecated - section 3.1 of
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spfbis-4408bis/?include_text=1
If it is being deprecated, then checking for an SPF record and finding
no corresponding TXT record makes sense, but finding a TXT record and
warning that there is no SPF record would seem a little pointless.
John.
