SMTPCTL SPF walk gives different result based on which account runs it

[Igor Zornik]

Hello,

Does anyone else get noticeable discrepancies in the resulting list
of IPs based on whether you run SPF walk as root or under a regular
account? For instance, when running something like “smtpctl spf
walk < common_domains.txt > common_domains_ip.txt”, the output
file contains approximately 20% more addresses than when running it
as root. Does anyone have an explanation for such behavior? You can
try it with an example list of common domains I’ve prepared at
