So, like, the other day Meng Weng Wong mumbled:

SPF is ready. Please publish records!

I'm catching up on old mail. Sorry.
Typos from http://spf.pobox.com/mechanisms.html:
Mechanism Syntax
Mechanisms can be prefixed with one of four characters:
- fail
+ pass
? unknown
And there appear to be only three, not the stated four.
Is "!" missing, or is "three" the correct word? :-)
(Yes, I've read the draft; "three" is correct.)
Clarification: By the following statement:
If a mechanism results in a hit, the prefix value obtains
instead of the default value, which is "pass".
Do you mean to say something like:
The default value is 'pass". If a mechanism results in
a hit, its prefix value is used instead of the default.
Uh, before we get Slashrotted, we need to fill in the IPv6
sections as well. Cross the "t" and dot the "i" first, right?
So, from the DNS page, it looks like there is link
to the RFC draft:
http://spf.pobox.com/draft-mengwong-spf-02.txt
Is that the current version? I don't think so:
http://spf.pobox.com/draft-mengwong-spf.02.9.3.txt
And over in that spec, section 4.1, there is some use of the
word "should" which MIGHT need to be "SHOULD NOT" or "MUST NOT".
In particular, claims about "making sense" are tantamount
to defining illegal constructs or disallowing syntax.
Thanks,
