Re: The IANA has assigned us DNS number 99 for SPF

* Jeroen Massar:

You don't really have to, just use, per RFC3597:

TYPE99 "v=spf1 ..."

You will have to wait till somebody has patched yours to do SPF instead
of TYPE99 indeed.

For you to check:

$ host -t 99 sixxs.com
sixxs.com  99  #(                         ; unknown type
      76 3D 73 70 66 31 20 2D 61 6C 6C  ; v=spf1 -all     
      )

This is incorrect, I think.  There's a 0B length indicator missing at
the beginning of the data.  The SPF draft says that, "The format of
this type is identical to the TXT RR [RFC1035]."
