Can someone add this issue to the Errata page (http://www.openspf.org/RFC_4408/Errata) or change the testsuite to not check this? I bet that most "compliant" SPF implementations currently use resolver libraries that compact the results and in real use cases they probably fail to recognize identical duplicate records: are these implementations being tested against real dns servers or the resolution process is mocked? How can I help to have a fast solution for the test suite? I'd like to complete our jSPF library and make sure it is compliant and this issue is critical.
