Subject: [Assp-user] SPF Validation

For SPF validation, if a message is sent from a subdomain, does ASSP
check the parent domain or the subdomain for SPF records?  I just had
someone who failed SPF checks that should not have. 

Take a look at this from the mailog:

Nov-16-06 15:20:59 162.114.238.14 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] recipient
                   accepted: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Nov-16-06 15:21:00 162.114.238.14 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] failed SPF
                   checks -> d:\assp/spam/10866.eml
Nov-16-06 15:21:00 162.114.238.14 <************ @ag.ky.gov> to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] deleting
                   spamming whitelisted tuplet:
(162.114.238.0,ag.ky.gov) age: 1s

However, if you do a SPF lookup on the ag.ky.gov domain you'll see:
"v=spf1 ip4:162.114.80.0/24 ip4:162.114.3.0/24 ip4:205.204.133.0/24
162.114.238.0/24 ~all"

My guess is that ASSP was querying the parent domain ky.gov which does
not list 162.114.238.0/24.
