Helo,

what can I make of this:

[japc(_at_)morgoth:~]$ dig txt portoeditora.pt
(...)
portoeditora.pt.        86400   IN      TXT     "v=spf1" "mx" "ptr" 
"mx:servermail.portoeditora.pt" "mx:smtponi.portoeditora.pt" 
"mx:smtppt.portoeditora.pt"
"mx:newsletters.portoeditora.pt" "ip4:213.58.193.36" "ip4:194.65.106.36" 
"-all"
(...)

Aside the redundancy is this a valid record?

No, this SPF record is not valid.  The separate strings are
concatinated together without any spaces added, and therefore is
equivalent to:

portoeditora.pt.        86400   IN      TXT     
"v=spf1mxptrmx:servermail.portoeditora.ptmx:smtponi.portoeditora.pt...


[japc(_at_)morgoth:~/libspf-1.0.0-p3/bin]$ ./spfqtool_static -i 
212.55.154.196 -s japc(_at_)portoeditora(_dot_)pt
You didn't give me a helo host, using (nobody)
SPF short result:   neutral

This is incorrect.  The result should be "None" because there isn't a
TXT record that begins with "v=spf1 " (the space is important).
