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 :-)
