An optional \s-1DNS\s0 resolver object.  If none is specified, a new \fINet::DNS::Resolver\fR

provide an interface similar to \fINet::DNS::Resolver\fR \*(-- at least the \f(CW\*(C`send\*(C'\fR

For years \fBMail::SPF\fR has defaulted to looking up both \f(CW\*(C`SPF\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`TXT\*(C'\fR type
RRs as recommended by \s-1RFC 4408. \s0 Experience has shown, however, that a
significant portion of name servers suffer from serious brain damage with
regard to the handling of queries for \s-1RR\s0 types that are unknown to them, such
as the \f(CW\*(C`SPF\*(C'\fR \s-1RR\s0 type.  Consequently \fBMail::SPF\fR now defaults to looking up
only \f(CW\*(C`TXT\*(C'\fR type RRs.  This may be overridden by setting the \fBquery_rr_types\fR
option.

of the \*(L"select_record\*(R" method.

.IP "\fBmax_dns_interactive_terms\fR" 4
.IX Item "max_dns_interactive_terms"
An \fIinteger\fR denoting the maximum number of terms (mechanisms and modifiers)
per \s-1SPF\s0 check that perform \s-1DNS\s0 look-ups, as defined in \s-1RFC 4408, 10.1,\s0
paragraph 6.  If \fBundef\fR is specified, there is no limit on the number of such
terms.  Defaults to \fB10\fR, which is the value defined in \s-1RFC 4408.\s0
.Sp
A value above the default is \fIstrongly discouraged\fR for security reasons.  A
value below the default has implications with regard to the predictability of
\&\s-1SPF\s0 results.  Only deviate from the default if you know what you are doing!
.IP "\fBmax_name_lookups_per_term\fR" 4
.IX Item "max_name_lookups_per_term"
An \fIinteger\fR denoting the maximum number of \s-1DNS\s0 name look-ups per term
(mechanism or modifier), as defined in \s-1RFC 4408, 10.1,\s0 paragraph 7.  If
\&\fBundef\fR is specified, there is no limit on the number of look-ups performed.
Defaults to \fB10\fR, which is the value defined in \s-1RFC 4408.\s0

.PD 0
.IP "\fBmax_name_lookups_per_ptr_mech\fR" 4
.IX Item "max_name_lookups_per_ptr_mech"
.PD
An \fIinteger\fR denoting the maximum number of \s-1DNS\s0 name look-ups per \fBmx\fR or \fBptr\fR
mechanism, respectively.  Defaults to the value of the \f(CW\*(C`max_name_lookups_per_term\*(C'\fR
option.  See there for additional information and security notes.
.IP "\fBmax_void_dns_lookups\fR" 4
.IX Item "max_void_dns_lookups"
An \fIinteger\fR denoting the maximum number of \*(L"void\*(R" \s-1DNS\s0 look-ups per \s-1SPF\s0 check,
i.e. the number of \s-1DNS\s0 look-ups that were caused by DNS-interactive terms and
macros (as defined in \s-1RFC 4408, 10.1,\s0 paragraphs 6 and 7) and that are allowed
to return an empty answer with \s-1RCODE 0\s0 or \s-1RCODE 3 \s0(\f(CW\*(C`NXDOMAIN\*(C'\fR) before
processing is aborted with a \f(CW\*(C`permerror\*(C'\fR result.  If \fBundef\fR is specified,
there is no stricter limit on the number of void \s-1DNS\s0 look-ups beyond the usual
processing limits.  Defaults to \fB2\fR.
.Sp
Specifically, the \s-1DNS\s0 look-ups that are subject to this limit are those caused
by the \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`mx\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`ptr\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`exists\*(C'\fR mechanisms and the \f(CW\*(C`p\*(C'\fR macro.
.Sp
A value of \fB2\fR is likely to prevent effective DoS attacks against third-party
victim domains.  However, a definite limit may cause \f(CW\*(C`permerror\*(C'\fR results even
with certain (overly complex) innocent sender policies where useful results
would normally be returned.
