# pyspf-type99(1)

Python Type TXT to Type 99/SPF conversion script

## NAME

type99 - Python Type TXT to Type 99/SPF conversion script

## VERSION

2\.0.9

## DESCRIPTION

The type99script will convert DNS TXT strings to a binary  equivalent suitable for use in a BIND zone file.  Since use of DNS type SPF (99) was removed in RFC 7208, this script should be of historical interest only.

## USAGE

The type99 script is called from the command line as follows:

python type99 "v=spf1 -all" {Note: Use your desired SPF record instead.}

\\# 12 0b763d73706631202d616c6c {This is the correct result for "v=spf1 -all"}

or

python type99 - {File name}

The input file format is a standard BIND Zone file.  The type99 script will add a Type99 record for each TXT record found in the file.

## SEE ALSO

RFC 4408, \<http://www.openspf.org\>
