Proxy spf records

Extracted from the spf-discuss list....

if the SPF

This is an option which I would be prepared to set up and administer, using input from all
those who are having such problems. I have a reliable DNS server (touch wood) and a remote
back-up, though I'd be happy if others would do further back-ups, or allow me access to do
it myself.

I will create TXT and SPF records for a subdomain of one of my own domains as proxy for
any domains that do not currently publish.

e.g. For comcast. and assuming I use spfhelp.net, I will add these lines to the zonefile
for spfhelp.net (thanks to ScottK for the IP ranges)

comcast.net.proxy.spfhelp.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 ?ip4:204.127.202.0/24
?ip4:204.127.198.0/24 ?ip4:216.148.227.0/24 ?ip4:63.240.76.0/24 ~all"
comcast.net.spfhelp.net. IN SPF "v=spf1 ?ip4:204.127.202.0/24 ?ip4:204.127.198.0/24
?ip4:216.148.227.0/24 ?ip4:63.240.76.0/24 ~all"

Anyone needing to use comcast could therefore add include:comcast.net.proxy.spfhelp.net to
their record.

I will post all such proposed records here and on spf-help for comment, amendment, etc.,
prior to actually doing them. I will also use the least disruptive method os zonefile
editing by adjusting the ttl's as needed.

Comments, criticism, advice, offers of help all welcome ;-)

Slainte,
JohnP.
