I've been digging a bit deeper into my reports, using the very nice tool at
http://dmarcian.com
I'm also getting these Hotmail SPF temperrors on the SPF record I have on
the online.tdc.dk hostname. ( "v=spf1 a -all" )
So I guess we can't entirely blame "exists" in a SPF record for causing
these temperrors.


Best regards
Henrik Schack
