A typical SPF HELO policy v=spf1 a mx ip4:192.0.2.0 -all may execute four or more DNS queries: (1) TXT record (SPF type was obsoleted by RFC 7208), (2) A or AAAA for mechanism a, (3) MX record and (4+) A or AAAA for each MX name, for mechanism mx. Except the first one, all those queries count towards the limit of 10.
This gives the TXT resource record to be looked up as: brisbane._domainkey.example.net. Note that the selector and the domain name can be UTF-8 in internationalized email. [9] In that case the label must be encoded according to IDNA before lookup. The data returned from the query of this record is also a list of tag-value pairs.
Specified as part of the Sender Policy Framework protocol as an alternative to storing SPF data in TXT records, using the same format. It was discontinued in RFC 7208 due to widespread lack of support. [19] [20] NINFO 56 — Used to provide status information about a zone. Requested for the IETF draft "The Zone Status (ZS) DNS Resource Record ...
In the Domain Name System, a LOC record (experimental RFC 1876) [1] is a means for expressing geographic location information for a domain name. It contains WGS84 Latitude , Longitude and Altitude ( ellipsoidal height ) information together with host/ subnet physical size and location accuracy.
Even if the SPF and DKIM validation fail, the receiving service can choose to validate the ARC chain. If it indicates that the original message passed the SPF and DKIM checks, and the only modifications were made by intermediaries trusted by the receiving service, the receiving service may choose to accept the email.
The SPF verifier queries the Domain Name System (DNS) for a matching SPF record, which if it exists will specify the IP addresses authorized by that domain's administrator. The result can be "pass", "fail", or some intermediate result - and systems will generally take this into account in their anti-spam filtering.
Sender ID is an historic [1] anti-spoofing proposal from the former MARID IETF working group that tried to join Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Caller ID. Sender ID is defined primarily in Experimental RFC 4406, [2] but there are additional parts in RFC 4405, [3] RFC 4407 [4] and RFC 4408.
For example, to do a reverse lookup of the IP address 8.8.4.4 the PTR record for the domain name 4.4.8.8.in-addr.arpa would be looked up, and found to point to dns.google. If the A record for dns.google in turn pointed back to 8.8.4.4 then it would be said to be forward-confirmed.
