jSPF TXT record parsing bug?

[sp...@caseyconnor.org]

Hi - I know this list is necessarily super-active, but in case anyone 
knows anything about this:

We are getting parsing errors from jSPF for TXT records like:

$ host -t txt about.com
;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode.
about.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:207.241.148.60 ip4:207.241.148.40 
ip4:207.241.148.227 ip4:207.241.145.5 ip4:207.241.145.6 
ip4:207.241.149.197 ip4:207.241.148.39 ip4:207.241.148.226 
ip4:207.241.148.227 ip4:207.241.148.64 ip4:207.241.148.228" " 
a:mclist.about.com a:ablist.about.com a:smtp.about.com a:mxc1s.about.com 
a:smtpapps.about.com a:listserv1.about.com a:listserv2.about.com 
a:mail.about.com a:om1.about.com -all"

The error jSPF reports when checking messages with that domain is:

Term [ip4:207.241.148.228"] is not syntactically valid: ...<monster 
regex follows>

...the SPF TXT record is valid, to my knowledge. So it seems like a 
parsing error that can't handle TXT records with multiple quoted terms 
on the line?

It has been suggested that there may be firewall issues since the DNS 
falls back to TCP. I don't think that's happening, but either way... a 
bug, no?

Any hope of this "bug" being fixed?

Thanks!

for some reason, the first post didn't arrive in my inbox (maybe some
other folks had the same problem). so i've opened a JIRA
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPF-72).

norman and stefano are the experts on jSPF but are really busy ATM
(congratulations norman :-)

hopefully they'll jump in sometime soon but if they don't then i'll
take a look at it
