So you would distinguish between a "DKIM record" (a DNS record of RR type
"DKIM") and a "DKIM TXT record" (a DNS record of RR type "TXT" carrying
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.
