On a related note, I do not see in dkim_base that multiple character strings in TXT records are to be concatenated before parsing.



Andrew, I seem to be particularly dense this morning -- and more coffee isn't likely to fix it. I have re-read the above a number of times and I am not understanding what you mean by "multiple character strings in TXT records". In other words, I am not understanding what might, or should, be concatenated.

We've had this discussion pre-publication: DNS txt records are
comprised of ascic strings with one byte of length, therefore
you might get multiple that comprise the whole RR. This confused
me too, so I agree with Andrew that it's worth a mention.
