[spf-discuss] Question about redirect syntax

Scott and I have been discussing a question about the syntax for
redirect in SPF.

Agilent Technologies has a large number of domains (gTLDs and ccTLDs)
and subdomains which we have just published SPF records for. In doing
so, we utilized the "rooted" format:

agilent.com.   TXT   "v=spf1 redirect=%{d}.d.spf.agilent.com."

This is causing problems with Scott's validation tool, but not with
the tool on DNSStuff or with the Mail::SPF::Query package.

Scott wrote to me:
The way I read the ABNF in the spec:
http://new.openspf.org/blobs/draft-schlitt-spf-classic-02.html#anchor42


domain-end       = ( "." toplabel ) / macro-expand toplabel
= ALPHA / ALPHA *[ alphanum / "-" ] alphanum ; LDH rule (See
[RFC3696])

the spec doesn't allow for the dot on the end.
Is this an intended departure from standard DNS syntax explained in
RFC 1034 section 3.1??


Thanks,
  Kurt
