These are not random, they are spamassassin.org and txttcp.spamassassin.org, so
both under our control. The second subdomain only exists for tests like this.
Until recently we had no reason to use spamassassin.org for email, so the
recird was only for testing too.

I guess it depends on exactly what we expect the test cases to cover. If we
want to test that it works with a minimal spf record of just 'v-spf1 -all' then
the right thing to do is to use another test subdomain. Any domain that has an
SPF record that it really uses isn't a good choice for a test case, anyway, as
a reason to change it might come up at any time.
