I provided a ham sample off-list.

Indeed; thank you.

We determined that this was an interaction between local resolver config and (probably) Net::DNS or a sub-module. Setting BIND EDNS options fixed it.

Also, I've recently encountered a similar issues with DHL - for example - them, several weeks ago, using an alterate domain in the mail header FROM-address - that didn't actually have ANY DNS records - crazy stuff like that - although I think that they've since stopped using that particular domain name?

Bug 8021 reports breakage in SPF checking for dhl.com mail, due to an inability to resolve theĀ  SPF TXT record for dhl.com. That breakage is essentially due to DHL having far too many TXT records (some are clearly stale) and having a SPF record which is right at the limit of complexity, having 10 'include' directives at the top level.

If anyone has samples of real legitimate mail from a dhl.com address, please share. I'm seeking a way to reproduce the reported bug, which strikes me as too stupid to be real; we SHOULD have noticed long before now if SPF lookups were not handling UDP truncation of replies.
