Re: libspf2: "ip6" mechanism not working ?

Hi,

below is a message I posted some months ago about "ip6:" SPF mechanism=20
not being handled correctly by libspf2.

Googling in the mailing list archives, I found someone already=20
encountered the problem and submitted a patch:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/spf/devel/35098

(or=20
http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/1007/2009/09/sort/time_rev/page/1/e=
ntry/0:2/20090927002136:3C4C62B2-AB1D-11DE-A128-DAF452F05D7F/,=20
but without the patch attached).

I tested this patch (basically replacing an occurrence of=20
INET_ADDRSTRLEN by INET6_ADDRSTRLEN in spf_compile.c), and I confirm it=20
solves the "ip6" problem.

Could this patch be included in future releases of libspf2 ?
