Re: Long SPF records cut short?

In order to test what is going on, I highly recommend adding an exists: as the last mechanism before the ?all. Various people have suggested different sets of parameters to pass -- check the archives for suggestions.

Something like exists:%{s}.%{i}.log._spf.ticketmaster.com
would be simple and effective. It would show the name being spoofed and the ip address of the spoofer. You should probably verify that it isn't one of your systems before claiming victory!

In order for this to be useful, your DNS server has to support some type of logging.

I have axfr-dns listening to the same address, so TCP queries are supported. But Yikes, I don't want to go TCP for SPF.

To the persons suggesting using include: statements and/or ptr: or mx:, would this be what you had in mind?

@ORIGIN ticketmaster.com.
reply IN TXT "v=spf1 ptr:crm.tmcs.net include:reply._spf.ticketmaster.com -all"

@ORIGIN _spf.ticketmaster.com.
reply IN TXT "v=spf1 a:lax1bmx1.tmcs.net a:lax1bmx2.tmcs.net a:chi1bmx1.tmcs.net a:chi1bmx2.tmcs.net -all"

I don't want to do "ptr:tmcs.net" because there are tmcs.net hosts that should NEVER send emails from reply.ticketmaster.com.
