Fortunately MX records and by extension SPF info per domain changes
infrequently enough that a semi-manually maintained list will be mostly
right, most of the time.

But you're right in principle -- I *should* really take the time out to
recreate the list of domains that went into it and just re-generate with
smtpctl spf walk something like once per day or once per week.

All the best,
Peter

I regenerate once an hour at least and still get burned by some major
domains changing SPF IP's constantly. It's pretty frustrating, but once
you get an update process in place it settles down and doesn't require
much handholding.

Thanks
