G'day, Robert. I think you probably didn't read the entire blog post,
particularly the section titled "Microsoft Is Publishing Invalid IP Ranges
in their SPF Record" where I show those exact same warnings in my own
maillog. :)

Both offending IPs (which are indeed invalid) appear when you do a dig txt
of _spf-ssg-b.microsoft.com. It makes me want to cry a little.

I keep going back and forth regarding whether to strip the offending ranges
from the script, though the script technically is functioning properly --
it's taking the IPs reported by a mailer and including them in the
whitelist. But that would be better is some way to automate verifying
they're valid, rather than start coding in special cases. I'll look into
that today.
