The a: mechanism is not allowed to be an IP address. Arguably this was
a poor design decision, but that is what's codified in RFC 4408. See
http://www.openspf.org/RFC_4408#mech-a (and the rest of the ABNF) for
details. Whenever feasible, the package design follows RFC 4408. Note
that the wizard you are using is an old one. The current one is
available on http://www.openspf.org/Project_Overview.
If you prefer not to reject on permanent errors (and this is a permanent
error), my recommendation is to switch to postfix-policyd-spf-python
(that's the name in the current release, it had a different name in
earlier releases). It does not reject on permerror by default. It also
is configurable in the package configuration file.
** Changed in: postfix-policyd-spf-perl (Ubuntu)
