[not to counter your statement above, but rather to pile on...] I'm just a simple email user and not involved in the email world, but ISTM it's not just what major mail service providers use, but major mail servers/MTAs as well - for example those used by the corporate world. MS Exchange, for example, and any "front-end" spam-filtering-thingies put between it and the Internet. And other corporate-market-focused server vendors. No? My employer's email server products, for example, appear to only do type-16 TXT SPF queries. (though I could easily be wrong on that - it's just what I see in the publicly-accessible user docs) Likewise that's what it appears to be for MS Exchange, of various versions, though again I could be wrong. -hadriel disclaimer: this email does not represent Oracle in any way, I am merely speaking as an individual. Oracle products may well do type-99 checking already today, or in the near-future, for all I know. _______________________________________________ dnsext mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext
