All,
Microsoft has sponsored a 'wizard' to create SPF records, it's online
here:
http://www.anti-spamtools.org/SenderIDEmailPolicyTool/Default.aspx
However, the wizard is seriously flawed. For example, it suggests you to
enter ip adresses to be used with the a mechanism, producing for example:
v=spf2.0/pra a:1.2.3.4 ~all
this obviously should be
v=spf2.0/pra ip4:1.2.3.4 ~all
There are further flaws in the programming. Surely, microsoft
programmers are not _this_ stupid, so I cannot understand otherwise than
this is a deliberate stalling move to frustrate development of SenderID.
This wizard should be taken off-line immediatelly! It should not come
back online until after all the bugs have been fixed. This wizard is bad
for deployment, making people publish bad records.
