Hi List Just wondering as I have come across this situation multiple times.
A domain includes an SPF entries which have different 'all' settings. Which one is valid? I would have guessed, that an 'include' should never contain the 'all' statement to make it possible for the domain owner to define this. But for example hosted exchange services often include: spf-a.outlook.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:157.56.232.0/21 ip4:157.56.240.0/20 ip4:207.46.198.0/25 ip4:207.46.4.128/25 ip4:157.56.24.0/25 ip4:157.55.157.128/25 ip4:157.55.61.0/24 ip4:157.55.49.0/25 ip4:65.55.174.0/25 ip4:65.55.126.0/25 ip4:65.55.113.64/26 ip4:65.55.94.0/25 -all" I am aware, specifying anything other than '-all' is pretty useless, but shouldn't the choice remain with the domain owner? Other company publishing such an include SPF for it's customers. _spf.synventis.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:213.239.204.153 ip4:78.46.40.142 ip4:78.46.101.176 ip4:5.9.28.36 ~all" The customer in question specified '-all' in his TXT entry including the above one. So which one is valid in the end? Is the first one encountered while parsing the line or the last one? How are includes processed? After processing the 'main' entry, or recursively, therefore before?
