Hello everyone! I got excited when I first heard about SPF. It's just what
the doctor ordered (my anti-spam doctor)! I have added records for my home
domain. I use Netsol DNS manager to manage my domains. I have attached a
screen-shot of DNS manager. I hope this is setup correctly. It looks a
little confusing since the first record has no domain specified, but when I
ADDED the record it does show the base domain "borgmeyer.com" in that field.
It just doesn't show up once it's been committed. Does everything look good?
How can this be tested? I haven't yet installed an SPF-aware component on my
mail-server so I can't personally do any tests yet...

If you have access to nslookup or dig then you can just check to see if the
TXT record exists:

jasper(_at_)jellycat:~/[0]> dig txt borgmeyer.com
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> txt borgmeyer.com
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 43710
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 4, ADDITIONAL: 4
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      borgmeyer.com, type = TXT, class = IN

;; ANSWER SECTION:
borgmeyer.com.          1h59m20s IN TXT  "v=spf1 mx -all"


and it does, so it's working:

jasper(_at_)jellycat:~/develop/spf/libspf/[0]> ./spf borgmeyer.com 
66.128.103.180
spf: starting query for 'borgmeyer.com', mode: AF_INET, client ip

sc01-180.cbnstl.net is ok!

(I need to finish my code and put it up somewhere).
