Re: Updated SPF validator and a new checker

Peter, I ran a few logged SPF results to test against your checker.

For one transaction I got on August 19:

   IP: 199.237.55.172
   CDN:  yes.jcmanagementservices.com 
   RPD:  
b-p0ckbcgbhbjd-iaagchg-000-(_at_)msg(_dot_)jcmanagementservices(_dot_)com 
   
The SPF record is:

   v=spf1 mx ptr a include

This results in a PASS because of the MX match.

Your checker indicates: 
    
    "199.237.55.172 may send in the name of the domain."

And the details indicates:

    "SPF policy evaluation finished with SPF Unknown."

I retested this by changing the IP to see how it handled a bad IP.

   IP: 199.237.55.173

and our systems returns a PERMERROR which I think is correct the INCLUDE is 
incorrect.

But your checker says:

   "199.237.55.173 may send in the name of the domain."
   "SPF policy evaluation finished with SPF Unknown." 

Shouldn't your checker throw an error on this? Not a pass?

Subject: [spf-discuss] Updated SPF validator and a new checker


Hello,

FYI, we have updated our SPF syntax validator and added an SPF
evaluation check service to our website.

SPF Syntax Validator: http://www.vamsoft.com/orf/spft/spfvalidator.asp
SPF Checker: http://www.vamsoft.com/orf/spft/spfcheck.asp

Both services are based on the original SPF Classic draft
(http://www.libspf.org/files/spf-draft-200405.txt) and the Checker
provides detailed log of the evaluation, so it may be useful for
troubleshooting purposes.

I thought that you may be interested (and hope that you will tell me
if you find any problems :) Note that the above URLs are temporary,
the final services will be published without /spft.

  Peter
