I did investigate this and found that the default timeouts in python-spf and python-dns are rather long. With a series of non-responsive DNS servers as in the bug, it can take a very long time to get a result, but one does return. I agree it's a bug, but not a grave one. Python-spf 2.0.9 that's in jessie will default to a shorter period. I do plan to backport that, which will help. I will also, in a future release, add a configuration option of the policy server so you can adjust the timeout. Scott K
