Conversation
Doc 78 left this open. example.com's row said the record verifies that the sending server's IP is authorized and warned about forwarding, beside an SPF card and DMARC evaluation that both say it authorizes no servers. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Normalize SPF terms before the null-SPF match.
_publishes_null_spf only trims outer whitespace. A valid record such as v=spf1 -all therefore misses the special case and reaches the generic elif spf_record branch. That branch says SPF authorizes sending servers and warns about forwarding, which is incorrect for a record that authorizes no server.
Normalize whitespace between SPF terms at this boundary before comparing with v=spf1 -all.
Suggested fix
def _publishes_null_spf(raw_spf):
- return ((raw_spf or {}).get("record") or "").strip().lower() == "v=spf1 -all"
+ record = " ".join(((raw_spf or {}).get("record") or "").split()).lower()
+ return record == "v=spf1 -all"🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Fixed in #146: _publishes_null_spf now compares whitespace-separated terms, with a test for "v=spf1 -all". |

Doc 78 leftover. The resilience SPF row for a null SPF record (v=spf1 -all) now says the record authorizes no server, which is correct for a domain that sends no mail. Status stays pass. 4 tests in tests/test_resilience_null_spf_row.py.

Summary by CodeRabbit
v=spf1 -allrecord authorizes no sending servers and causes mail claiming to come from the domain to fail SPF checks. This specific explanation is shown instead of the generic guidance about authorized senders and forwarding.
