I have been away from SPF for too long! I am helping someone and found
some issues and a bug.
In this web page http://new.openspf.org/Tools the email address
check-auth(_at_)verifier(_dot_)port25(_dot_)com
is split on 2 lines at the hyphen. Clicking on it works just fine. But
typing it by hand I did not notice the "check-" on the previous line. And
I think it is not obvious that the hyphen is part of the email address. I
know the split is based on my window size and maybe the browser I am using.
Therefore I recommend you put the email address on a line by its self.
Like I did above. Ok, silly nit! Sorry.
The bug, I sent a test email to
check-auth(_at_)verifier(_dot_)port25(_dot_)com
It reported my txt records as:
SPF TXT record/s:
v=spf1 mx
line1
But that is not correct! It is only using my first substring!!!
My spf record is this:
dig +short txt watkins-home.com
"line1" "line2" "line3" "line4" "line5" "Line n"
"v=spf1 mx " "ip4:63.240.76.26 " "ip4:204.127.198.26 " "ip4:204.127.198.35
" "ip4:204.127.198.39 " "ip4:204.127.202.26 " "ip4:204.127.202.55 "
"ip4:204.127.202.56 " "ip4:204.127.202.64 " "ip4:216.148.227.85 "
"ip4:216.148.227.126 "
"+exists:%{i}._.%{h}._.%{s}._.%{r}.spf-tracker.watkins-home.com " "?all"
I am using substrings. In the zone file it looks like this:
txt ("line1"
"line2"
"line3"
"line4"
"line5"
"Line n")
TXT ("v=spf1 mx "
"ip4:63.240.76.26 "
"ip4:204.127.198.26 "
"ip4:204.127.198.35 "
"ip4:204.127.198.39 "
"ip4:204.127.202.26 "
"ip4:204.127.202.55 "
"ip4:204.127.202.56 "
"ip4:204.127.202.64 "
"ip4:216.148.227.85 "
"ip4:216.148.227.126 "
"+exists:%{i}._.%{h}._.%{s}._.%{r}.spf-tracker.watkins-home.com "
"?all")
The "line1" stuff is not related to spf. But it is a txt record.
This isn't the first time someone has complained about issues with their
responder. IIRC, there is a plan to do one on the SPF web site in the near
future.
Oh, http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html seems to assemble my spf
record just fine. And it seems to ignore the "line1" stuff.
Yeah, I got burned by that problem and fixed it.
Also, does anyone have a current IP address list for Comcast.net? I found
they have a new IP address:
sccrmhc11.comcast.net (204.127.200.81). I bet this is not the only change!
If you look at my SPF record, the ?ip4: mechanisms are my current best guess.
I'll be adding yours to the list.
Please copy me on any replies. I am not subscribed to the list.
