The SPF record at rr.com requires 78 DNS lookups before hitting the
~all at the end by my count (which counts getting an SPF record or
MX set as one lookup even though multiple queries may be needed).
As a result, I upped my DNS lookup limit from 50 to 100. Is rr.com
reasonable? If not, how should they rewrite their record?
rr.com IN TXT "v=spf1 include:biz.rr.com include:texas.rr.com
include:southeast.rr.com include:ohiordc.rr.com include:rdc-kc.rr.com
include:rdc-nyc.rr.com include:orange.rr.com include:nyroc.rr.com
include:tampabay.rr.com +mx ~all"
And the 78 lookups:
