Re: [spf-discuss] Re: Re: Re: Should double quotations in TXT get ignore

Hi,

thanks for your detailed discussion about this term.

I think the best way in handling obviously malformed SPF
records is generally to reject (say: ignore) them.
As you mentioned, "\"vspf=1 is NOT "vspf=1 and should not
be guessed to form a syntactical correct record.

I never thought about this earlier, but you're right saying
this could lead away from standards and weaken SPF at all.

Cheers,

Stephan
