The 226 is consistent. The text that follows it is not. As the rfc says:
Quote:
It is intended that the three digits contain enough encoded information that the user-process (the User-PI) will not need to examine the text and may either discard it or pass it on to the user, as appropriate. In particular, the text may be server-dependent, so there are likely to be varying texts for each reply code.
If you get a 226 in response to a request for a transfer, the server is trying to tell you that it succeeded.
226 Transfer Complete
226 Closing Data Connection
mean almost the same thing. After a successful tranfer, the rfc allows a sever to keep a data connection open and re-use it for the next transfer. This is rarely done and the second message is underscoring that it wasn't done.
226 Everything's Groovy
226 That worked
226 looks good to me
would all be legal ways for a server to tell you that the transfer completed successfully. I've never seen anyone do that, but English is certainly not required by the rfc.
You really should read that RFC that I linked to in my earlier post. It will tell you what a server can and cannot do. The whole section on reply codes would especially help you out.

python-spf(1) General Commands Manual python-spf(1)
NAME
pyspf - pure-Python SPF library
VERSION
2.0.7
DESCRIPTION
SPF does email sender validation. For more information about SPF, please see http://www.openspf.org/
One incompatible change was introduced in version 1.7. Prior to version 1.7, connections from a local IP address (127...) would always
return a Pass result. The special case was eliminated. Programs calling pySPF should not do SPF checks on locally submitted mail.
This SPF client is intended to be installed on the border MTA, checking if incoming SMTP clients are permitted to forward mail. The SPF
check should be done during the MAIL FROM:<...> command.
USAGE
There are multiple ways to use this package:
To check an incoming mail request:
% pyspf [-v] {ip} {sender} {helo}
% pyspf 69.55.226.139 tway@optsw.com mx1.wayforward.net
To test an SPF record:
% pyspf [-v] "v=spf1..." {ip} {sender} {helo}
% pyspf "v=spf1 +mx +ip4:10.0.0.1 -all" 10.0.0.1 tway@foo.com a
To fetch an SPF record:
% pyspf {domain}
% pyspf wayforward.net
To test this script (and to output this usage message):
% pyspf
For instance, during an SMTP exchange from client 69.55.226.139::
S: 220 mail.example.com ESMTP Postfix
C: EHLO mx1.wayforward.net
S: 250-mail.example.com
S: ...
S: 250 8BITMIME
C: MAIL FROM:<terry@wayforward.net>
Then the following command line would check if this is a valid sender:
% pyspf 69.55.226.139 terry@wayforward.net mx1.wayforward.net
('pass', 250, 'sender SPF authorized')
Command line calls return RFC 4408 result codes, i.e. 'pass', 'fail', 'neutral', 'softfail, 'permerror', or 'temperror'.
RFC 4408 TEST SUITE
The package also installs the python-spf test driver and the current (as of the release date) YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) RFC 4408
test definitions. As errors or improvements in the test definitions are approved, they are available from:
<http://www.openspf.net/Test_Suite>
To run the test suite, change the directory the test suite is installed in:
$ cd /usr/share/doc/python-spf
Uncompress testspf.py.gz, testspf.py.gz, and rfc4408-tests.yml.gz
and then run testspf.py:
$ python testspf.py
The test suite supports multiple allowed results with a warning for a non-preferred result. For the current version, the expected results
are:
WARN: invalid-domain-long in rfc4408-tests.yml, ['8.1/2', '5/10']: fail
preferred to temperror
WARN: txttimeout in rfc4408-tests.yml, 4.4/1: fail preferred to temperror
WARN: spfoverride in rfc4408-tests.yml, 4.5/5: pass preferred to fail
WARN: multitxt1 in rfc4408-tests.yml, 4.5/5: pass preferred to permerror
WARN: multispf2 in rfc4408-tests.yml, 4.5/6: permerror preferred to pass
OTHER PROGRAMS
This package also provides two additional helper scripts; type99.py and spfquery.py. The type99.py script will convert DNS TXT strings to
a binary equivalent suitable for use in a BIND zone file. The spfquery.py script is a Python reimplementination of Wayne Schlitt's spf-
query command line tool. These scripts are described in pyspf-type99(1) and spfquery.pyspf(1) man pages.
