why that? u publish the http record ONLY if u cannot
publish the DNS

And _everyone_ who is serious about having working
SPF-enabled mailservers has to look for it.
Why that? Nobody is forced to look for anything.
I somebody wants to include checks on small domains which have only
http spf records he can do so or leave it.
In the current
Side note on the publishing side: are you going to run (and
maintain) a webserver on _every_ SPF protected host in your domain?
You still havent understood. ONLY if the owner of that domain has NO
access to
his DNS server (which is in some countries very common)
Even better. Then http records will be only used for a transitional
period until and will vanish with the same speed DNS records become
more available.
That would speed up the acceptance and implementation of
SPF records..
Nice try, but there is no such thing as a _temporary_ hack
when defining a protocol, and the worst, ugliest hacks are
the ones with the greatest staying power.
Who speaks about an ugly hack? If it would be an ugly hack I wouldnt
discuss it here....
