Hello,
today I tried to create the following SPF record ...
"v=spf1 ip4:192.168.120.0/24 mx a:smtp.abyssworld.de mx:smtp.abyssworld.de ?all" IN TXT @
Unfortunatly because of the slash (/) sign, the TXT record won't be created. According to ...
->
http://tinyurl.com/48xjz (Example #3)
... this is at least valid SPF syntax.
Here is a patch for NicToolServer/Zone/Record/Sanity.pm which allows the "/" for spf records. Address field must begin with v=spf1.

Need to check for colons in the address as well, tiny no likey colons. Use this patch, not previous.
