SPF does not expand redirect modifier

[TheGacko]

The SPF interpretation doesn't seem to expand out the redirect parameter

It might be something to do with the redirect pointing to a very long six-level domain ? eg sub.domain.com.hosted.mspdomain.com
would this be supported?

A standard redirect SPF record of

"v=spf1 redirect=sub.domain.com.hosted.mspdomain.com"

produces error

"targetdomain.com: Expected mechanism or end_of_statement at position 15 (marked with ➞) in: v=spf1 redirect➞=sub.domain.com.hosted.mspdomain.com"

The redirected record works fine and I can validate this directly with checkdmarc and it works as expected.

The SPF works fine and no issues so this error is not valid -- unless I'm missing something here but I've checked multiple times.

--

Ill try and look at the code to see if I can see the issue here but just reporting my current issue.

Another working example of this is for gmail.com's SPF lookup

"spf": {
"record": "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.google.com",
"valid": false,
"dns_void_lookups": null,
"warnings": [],
"error": "gmail.com: Expected mechanism or end_of_statement at position 15 (marked with ➞) in: v=spf1 redirect➞=_spf.google.com"
