I tried it on a third machine, and it's working there. The difference is as follows. On the machine that fails, the long AOL SPF records are being returned "malformed" and pyspf or its underlying support is failing -- perhaps by design -- to trying again with TCP.
On the machine that fails (ldc1042), I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host -t txt aol.com ;; Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet. ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. aol.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ... ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" aol.com descriptive text "spf2.0/pra ... ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" On the machine that works (gx110), I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ host -t txt aol.com ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. aol.com descriptive text "spf2.0/pra ... ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" aol.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ... ptr:mx.aol.com ?all" with no "Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet" error. More importantly, I also get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python /usr/share/python-support/python-spf/spf.py 64.12.138.200 [EMAIL PROTECTED] imr-m06.mx.aol.com ('pass', 250, 'sender SPF authorized') So now I need to figure out why my Hostway dedicated server would be getting a malformed DNS response by UDP.
