Subject: busted reverse dns for mailzone IP numbers

Message body is not shown because it is too large.

Did anyone try this? Does anyone else have this trouble? I use perl 5.8.8 in CentOS which is generally lame. --mark-- Test Summary Report ------------------- t/00_all.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 223 Failed: 195) Failed tests: 3-7, 9-76, 78-81, 89-127, 129, 131-161 163-164, 166-182, 184-185, 187-188, 190-191 193-194, 196-197, 199-200, 202-203, 205-206 208-209, 211-212, 214-215, 217-218, 220-223 Files=1, Tests=223, 4 wallclock secs ( 0.11 usr 0.03 sys + 0.54 cusr 0.05 csys = 0.73 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 1/1 test programs. 195/223 subtests failed.

Same rest results on Fedora Core 13, Perl 5.10.1 x86_64-linux-thread- multi. Suspect this simply shows the perils of hardcoding ephemeral assumptions about the internet into tests (or any code.)

Or assuming your employer will care about the tests you set up to depend on them after you leave the job. :-/ Mark
Mail::SPF::Query has a lot larger problems than the test suite failing. Even if the test suite wasn't broken, M:S:Q would still be largely incompliant with the SPF specification (RFC 4408), to a degree that the point of fixing it up would hardly justify the effort needed. I recommend using the Mail::SPF module instead. It's completely compliant with RFC 4408 and has a working test suite that doesn't rely on external DNS. -Julian

Is there any chance this could be clearly stated in the module with a minor release so there's less confusion going down the road? Something like: This module is Deprecated in favor of Mail::SPF. Please use it.
