Hi there,

I received the following question and I am not able to aswer as spf
records are still mysterious to me. We are using BIND 9.7.
Does our DNS-server support SPF-type records? Or do we put SPF-info in a
TXT-record?
My answers would be "Yes" and "Yes".
Ref. : Early implementations used TXT records for implementation before the
new record type was commonly available in DNS software. Use of TXT records
for SPF was intended
as a transitional mechanism. However, according to the current RFC, RFC 4408,
section 3.1.1, "An SPF-compliant domain name SHOULD have SPF records of both
RR types. A
compliant domain name MUST have a record of at least one type," and as such,
TXT record use is not deprecated.[2]
The SPF type RR seems to me to be dying. Hardly anyone uses it.
