1. I'm not sure what you mean by the "publishing host" Do you mean
publisher?
Or "publishing domain"? Or what?
What I mean is- the entity adding the DNS record.
2. IP range "owned"? Is this like "controlled" or "Assigned to the same
entity (or a parent) that has published MADRID for this domain"?
This is the semantics I was referring to.
When I am an entity on the internet, my provider assigns me a range of
IP's.
This range could be just one IP in the case of an ADSL user or many IP's
in the case of a 3rd party provider. ~or~ the ip address range of the
entity providing your mail services.
The range that I am assigned I now 'own', 'control', 'administrate',
'govern', 'oversee', 'supervise', whatever.
They are MY ip addresses to do what I wish with. However, if adding a
cidr and ONLY if I am adding a cidr to DNS for my SPF record, it should
be stated that I cannot use a cidr that encompass ip addresses that I do
not 'own', 'control', etc.
3. Does this mean I can't explicitly include the network of someone who
provides me with some mail service?
No, it does not mean that. What it means is that you cannot explicitly
state ~in your cidr~ that the ENTIRE INTERNET provides you with some
mail service.
4. Why don't you want me to be able to say "0/0" if that is an accurate
description of my outbound mail config?
I do not believe that 0/0 is THE most accurate description you could
give.

Damon Sauer
