I think this is correct, but OTOH someone recently asked about
possible issues in this area, and if I remember correctly,
received no response.
Last month I ran into a guy on the dmarc list who complained that his
server returns NOTIMP in response to queries for SPF records ("because
it doesn't implement them") and clients were doing odd things. But
it's been a long time since I've run into anyone else like that, so I
agree, it's not an issue.
Hm... I have no idea how such response gets cached. RFC 2136 says
that "an appropriate error will be returned to the requestor's caller"
when RCODE is SERVFAIL or NOTIMP.
Is that the same case that Scott noticed when he wrote:
Particularly when querying for SPF records of type SPF, persistent
2 ServFail results are /not rare/.
http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/spfbis/current/msg00259.html
(emphasis added)
?
IIRC there was also a mirroring issue...
At least, I think these issues will gradually vanish as the software
at the relevant servers gets upgraded.
I don't think it's the same. It's been awhile since I had data because I
simply stopped doing any type SPF queries in software I use or support due to
issues with it (and there's no upside to go expend effort on revisiting the
issue), but these were definitely SERVFAIL and not NOTIMP, but either would
have had the same effect of a permanent "temporary error".
