RFC 4408 test-suite 2007.05 released

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A new release, 2007.05, of the RFC 4408 test-suite has been finalized:

  http://www.openspf.org/Test_Suite

It is recommended that you verify that your implementations still conform
to the updated test-suite, and update them if necessary.

A quote from the changelog (changes since the 2007.01 release):

# Legend:
# --- = A new release
#   ! = Added a test case or otherwise tightened a requirement, possibly
#       causing implementations to become incompliant with the current
#       test-suite release
#   - = Removed a test case or otherwise loosened a requirement
#   * = Fixed a bug, or made a minor improvement

- --- 2007.05 (2007-05-30 21:00)

  - "exp-empty-domain" test case is subject to controversy.  "exp=" with an
    empty domain-spec may be considered a syntax error or not, thus both "Fail"
    and "PermError" results are acceptable for now.
  * Renamed the old "exp-syntax-error" test case to "explanation-syntax-error"
    to indicate that it refers to syntax errors in the explanation string, not
    in the "exp=" modifier.
  ! Added test cases:
    ! "exp-syntax-error", "redirect-syntax-error":  Syntax errors in "exp=" and
      "redirect=" must be treated as such.
    ! "a-empty-domain", "mx-empty-domain", "ptr-empty-domain",
      "include-empty-domain", "redirect-empty-domain":  "a:", "mx:", "ptr:",
      "include:", and "redirect=" with an empty domain-spec are syntax errors.
    ! "include-cidr":  "include:<domain>/<cidr>" is a syntax error.
    ! "helo-not-fqdn", "helo-domain-literal", "domain-literal":  A non-FQDN
      HELO or MAIL FROM must result in a "None" result.
    ! "hello-domain-literal":  Macro expansion results must not be checked for
      syntax errors, but must rather be treated as non-matches if nonsensical.
    ! "false-a-limit":  There is no limit for the number of A records resulting
      from an "a:"-induced lookup, and no such limit must be imposed.
    ! "default-modifier-obsolete(2)":  The "default=" modifier used in very old
      spec drafts must be ignored by RFC 4408 implementations.
