Re: Re: improving Received-SPF

It's probably not wise to change ":" into ";".  This will cause
confusion (similar to " ` " vs. " ' ").

I personally don't know what the difference really is - it's just an ascii character used as a delimiter, and the line itself isn't very human-readable at all...

From a programmer's perspective, there is a big difference between ":" and ";".

"ip4:192.0.2.25" implies "192.0.2.25 is somehow related to ip4". On the other hand, "ip4;192.0.2.25" implies "ip4 and 192.0.2.25 are two items in a list". So "ip4;mx;ptr" would look "right", but "ip4;192.0.2.25" does not.

This is very subjective, of course.
