That's different. Ignore that thread, I think it's clearer based
on your table adding the case "something but no v=spf1".
From our point of view, records returned but not starting with
"v=spf1 " or being exactly "v=spf1", are exactly the same as the
DNS answer "domain does exist, but no records of requested type"
(in other words: 0 answers). It doesn't matter if this is in the
SPF result set or the TXT result set.
(but do watch out for truncated answers!!!)
My opinion:
If the SPF type RR returns no SPF v=spf1 records, this MUST
mean the TXT type RR will also have no v=spf1 records.
Thus: SPF RR type "no SPF records" and TXT RR type "timeout" means "None",
not "TempError".
Similarly: TXT RR type "no SPF records" and SPF RR type "timeout" means "None",
not "TempError".
