[spf-discuss] why.html

2006-10-02 18:18:15

The "why.html" page is not working for certain poorly maintained
zones.

If PTR(ip.address) resolves into a name, the why.html page happily
uses that name to create a suggestion like:

For example, they could change the record to something like
"v=spf1 ...{current_content}... a:{reported_name} ...current_all"

However, if $reported_name does not resolve, this results in a noop,
suggested by openspf.  I know, real DNS admins won't be fooled by
this.  Unfortunately we also have to deal with the click-and-drool
people.

Maybe change this into the following suggestion:

"v=spf1 ip4:{ip.address} ...{current_content_including_all}"

No dns issues, ip4 up front hopefully saving some "a mx ptr include:..."
cycles.
