So you would distinguish between a "DKIM record" (a DNS record of RR type

DKIM information), too?

I'd rather not suggest "DKIM TXT record".

It is a TXT record carrying DKIM information, or a TXT record
carrying SPF information.  In both cases, it is a TXT record.

If there was a DKIM RR, that is what I would call a "DKIM record".
There is an SPF RR, and that is what I call the "SPF record".



The confusion on the term "SPF record" has already reached the point of no 
return a long time ago.  Like it or not, I think it is mostly being used 
now to mean a DNS record of RR type "SPF" or "TXT" carrying an SPF policy.

That's an opinion too.


Like it or not, but email is primarily used to send spam.  Funny, I always
thought that we were here to make things better, not to admit defeat.
