Is libspf2 doing the correct number of lookups for the mx mechanisms? http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-schlitt-spf-classic-02.txt"]http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-schlitt-spf-classic-02.txt says: " When evaluating the "mx" and "ptr" mechanisms, or the %{p} macro,
there MUST be a limit of no more than 10 MX or PTR RRs looked up and
checked." libspf1 1.2.5 defines #define SPF_MAX_DNS_MX 5 in spf_server.h. We are having a problem verifying bn.com's spf record they use: $ host -t txt bn.com
bn.com text "v=spf1 a mx -all" With 7 MXs. $ host -t mx bn.com
