its not a 2 mx limit
its a 2 failure limit
he has 2 mxs listed that dont exist thus fail

it has mention of 2 records that flatly dont exist

obviously A LOT
did you read all the previous diagnosis and analasis?

>Sure, like

But it is flawed because the RFC7208 recommendation is MUST DEFINITELY flawed. If I had saw that, it would of been challenged during SPF-BIS.

>Rasul, this SPF record is fine. If you own it, your only recourse is to MOVE the IP4 rules upfront before the MX checking is done.  But rest assure you are NOT the bug here - the GetSPF2.py is the bug and the author should seriously consider relaxing that 2 limit.  Odds are good he will be forced to do it some day when more reports come in and he gets tired of hearing about it. Blame others generally have an expiration date in the support world and this is one of them.  2 limit? unbelievable.
