Bug 8021 reports breakage in SPF checking for dhl.com mail, due to an
inability to resolve the SPF TXT record for dhl.com. That breakage is
essentially due to DHL having far too many TXT records (some are clearly
stale) and having a SPF record which is right at the limit of
complexity, having 10 'include' directives at the top level.
If anyone has samples of real legitimate mail from a dhl.com address,
please share. I'm seeking a way to reproduce the reported bug, which
strikes me as too stupid to be real; we SHOULD have noticed long before
now if SPF lookups were not handling UDP truncation of replies.
