This might not be a real bug, but something for you to consider, even

though I know you
have discussed this aspect at some length.

If I enter an incorrect domain name the validator accepts it as long as

there is a "." in
it - even if the domain name does not actually exist in the public domain.

As I understand
it this is to allow for certain edge cases, but would it not be possible

to flag a warning
if the domain name is not in the public domain, so that mistyped records

are caught? I am
thinking of the the more basic user here. If the domain name mentioned in

the record does
not have an A or MX record it would IMHO be suspect to an average spf

publisher.

Just a thought.......


The validator will now raise a warning for this type of situation.


Many thanks Scott - excellent work :-)

Slainte,
