[Bug 2786] New: spf condition returns "(invalid)" on syntax error
https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2786

Bug ID: 2786
Summary: spf condition returns "(invalid)" on syntax error
Product: Exim
Version: 4.94
Hardware: x86-64
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: ACLs
Assignee: jgh146exb@wizmail.org
Reporter: thomasm-exim@wupper.com
CC: exim-dev@exim.org

When encountering a syntax error in a SPF record
(example: x4v38.cn TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:103.241.73.10-all")
the ACL condition "spf" returns "(invalid)" (seen in Authentication-Results:
header as well as $spf_result variable).
According to documentation (Chapter 58.4) this should be "permerror"; "invalid"
is never mentioned there.

Workaround: ACL condition "spf = permerror:invalid" seems to catch all those
cases...
