This might not be a real bug, but something for you to consider, even though I know you
have discussed this aspect at some length.
If I enter an incorrect domain name the validator accepts it as long as there is a "." in
it - even if the domain name does not actually exist in the public domain. As I understand
it this is to allow for certain edge cases, but would it not be possible to flag a warning
if the domain name is not in the public domain, so that mistyped records are caught? I am
thinking of the the more basic user here. If the domain name mentioned in the record does
not have an A or MX record it would IMHO be suspect to an average spf publisher.
Just a thought.......
And a big thank you for the validator - it's probably the most useful practical step
forward SPF has made in the last year.

I've fixed all the bugs that people reported to me with the exception of
dealing with Macros for the manually entered records. I've noted that as a
limitation for now.
I'm going to continue to make sure it conforms to Wayne's draft as closely
as I can.
Please go try and break it again. If no one comes up with anything
significant, I'll mention it on spf-help and see if they can break it.
Thanks,
