% 2.3 RECOMMENDED not only to check MAIL FROM but also HELO as "sender" param.
% 2.3 RECOMMENDED to check HELO before MAIL FROM.
% 2.4 MUST check "MAIL FROM" if: 1. "HELO" has not been checked, or 2. did not reach a definitive policy result
% 2.4 if reverse-path is null, "MAIL FROM" shoudl be the mailbox of the local-part postmaster & the HELO identity
% 2.5 SHOULD be checked during processing. reason: backscatter with forged senders (non-delivery notification)
% 2.6 POSSIBLE RESULTS.
% 2.6.1 "none": no valid DNS domain name was extracted, or no SPF records were retrieved
% 2.6.2 "neutral": ADMD has explicitly stated it is not asserting whether the IP is authorized
% 2.6.3 "pass": client is authorized
% 2.6.4 "fail": explicit statement that the client is not authorized
% 2.6.5 "softfail": weak statement, probably not authorized
% 2.6.6: "temperror": temporary error
% 2.6.7: "permerror": bad records of the domain
% 3. multiple records are NOT permitted
% 3. take care only to use SPF records for SPF processing
% 3.1: MUST be published as TXT RR. no other RR types.
% LOL: "SPF's use of the TXT RR type for structured data should in no way be taken as precedent for future protocol designers."
% 3.2: MUST NOT have multiple records, see 4.5
% 3.3: MUST concatenate records composed of more than one string
% 3.4: (SHOULD have < 450 octets in a record)
% 3.5: wildcard TXTs MUST be repeated for any host that has any RR records at all
% 4.1 "domain" argument may not be well-formed
% 4.1: if EHLO/HELO domain is used since reverse-path is null, "none" should be returned
% 4.6.4: MUST return permerror after 10 DNS queries
% 4.6.4: MUST return permerror for > 10 A or AAAA records on MX
% 4.6.4: MUST ignore more than the first 10 records for > 10 A or AAAA records on PTR (ptr mechanism or %{p} macro)
% 4.6.4: SHOULD impose limit for check_host of at least 20 seconds, otherwise temperror
% 4.7: return "neutral" if no mechanisms match and no "redirect" modifier exists
% 4.8: if domain argument is used, and domain is not specified, use domain from argument
% 5: with a sender mechanism, if no CIDR prefix length is given in the directive, then the IP in the DNS record and the IP in check_host are compared for equality
% 5.1: stop processing at "all"
% 5.1: MUST ignore any "redirect" modifier when there is "all" in the record, regardless of order
% 5.2: `include` must call `check_host` with resulting domain as `domain`. see 5.2 for return results
