count_spf_lookups

dev.dnsdoctor/dns-doctor · Verify this server

Validate an SPF record and count what it costs. Returns `record_valid` (the record parses as RFC 7208 SPF), `findings` (per-term diagnostics), `has_pass_all` (a `+all` that authorizes the whole internet to send as this domain), `multiple_all` (more than one `all`, which makes everything after the first unreachable), the parsed `terms`, and the lookup count against the limit of 10 with `over_limit`/`near_limit` and the `offending_mechanisms` that push it over. Pass EXACTLY ONE of `domain` (resolves the published record and counts recursively through nested includes) or `record` (parses a pasted record, its own terms only). This is the SPF validator — there is no separate one. Diagnose-only: no SPF fix record is ever returned, because removing a mechanism can silently de-authorize a real sender — relay the findings and let the domain's owner decide what to drop.
