Subject: RE: [spf-discuss] TXT lookup problem
Windows for sure returns true. Could be fixed if pobox would
publish the SPF String in double quotes....
I do not understand what you are trying to say here. You must not
publish the SPF record with double quotes included in the record. The
record that pobox.com publishes is correct right now. It does not
need to be changed at all.
C:\Documents and Settings\stefan>nslookup -type=txt pobox.com
[...]
pobox.com text =
"v=spf1 mx mx:fallback-relay.%{d} a:webmail.%{d} a:smtp.%{d}
a:discards.%{d} mx:store.discard.%{d} a:emerald.%{d redirect=%{l1r"
Is this actually what you are getting? When I do the TXT record
lookup, there is a "}" on the end of "a:emerald.%{d".
"+}._at_.%{o}._spf.%{d}"
Good catch. Windoze, indeed (mine too), splits the answer over what it
interprets as two separately quoted strings! Funny, how easily the human
eye misses such a detail. Your solution should work.
The nslookup on unix also shows the two strings on the TXT record as
two strings enclosed in quotes. Ditto for dig.
