Everyone, I said a couple days ago that I was going to be releasing the results of a very comprehensive survey of Internet domains. I have delayed this because I wish to add to these statistics results including SenderID

To tide anyone particularly interested, following is a typical "debug" result from one of the clients. 1000 domains using 100 threads in 51.627 seconds.
SPF_NONE: 975
SPF_PASS: 0
SPF_FAIL: 10
SPF_SOFTFAIL: 12
SPF_NEUTRAL: 3
SPF_UNKNOWN: 0
SPF_ERROR: 0
Publishing SPF: 25
Publishing SenderID: 0
Total: 1000 Its imortant to note that each domain that publishes an SPF record is actually "processed" through libSPF in that a non-routable IP address, faked HELO response and fake local-part is used against their domain name is fully parsed. The SPF result code tallies above represent the "default published action" by those records queried. So SPF_FAIL is when "-all" is encountered, and so forth. UNKNOWN and ERROR represent libSPF return codes in the face of an inability to continue a parse due to a failure to meet RFC requirements or otherwise an Error during the parse. Cheers, James
