the wizard does this, if you hit 'explain'. if you can
suggest improvements, i would be very grateful.
Ah, I forgot about the wizard, thanks very much. That's more or less
what I was looking for. Is the wizard source available?
I don't have any suggestions on the explanations at the moment. They
seem quite readable and complete to me.
I do have another wizard suggestion though: check whether the provided
domain already has an SPF record, and if so explain that record in
English (and pre-set the relevant fields in the form as well, I
suppose).
Actually, this is kind of non trivial. The wizard can only
generate a subset of all possible spf records, so parsing any arbitrary
spf record into the wizard's set of options is difficult.
Besides that, the source is kind of obfuscated by a mixture of html and
perl (it's a mason thingy).
But if you feel comfortable to add this as an option, I think Meng will
hapilly send you the source so you can modify it.
