I have posted some questions on the DNS Stuff forum about the SPF draft.
Hi!
Thanks for the review. Frank has already commented on this, but I'll
add one more note. I have also posted a reply to the DNS Stuff forum.
3.1.1
An SPF-compliant check SHOULD try to look up and use a record of the SPF type
first, before falling back to the TXT type. However, the client MAY also
look up both types in parallel.
If, for a domain, both types are obtained but their contents do not match,
the SPF client SHOULD return a "PermError" result.
The "PermError" rule is NOT mentioned in 4.5 Selecting records.
Also:
What to do if both rules are not identical but they both exclude or allow the
domain in question?
Still the SPF client SHOULD return a "PermError" result?
I have moved all of the text about the different lookups out of
section 3.1.1. I have updated section 4.4 "Record Lookup" to mention
that the lookups can be performed in parallel and I have updated
seciton 4.5 "Selecting Records" to define the PermError results
