Oracle requires that certain records are added to a customers DNS to allow Oracle's email delivery service to send emails on the customers behalf. This prevents the customers emails from being flagged as spoofed.

### Disclaimer
6+
7+
This asset uses a rest API to make it possible to show the geo-locations of the email servers in the SPF DNS records. This is done by making an HTTP request to the ip-api.com service.
8+
9+
The requests to ip-api.com are done in a anonymous way. The privacy policy at ip-api.com mentions that they do not track or analyse access or use in any manner. No cookies are placed during use.
10+
11+
To protect and rate-limit the API the network IP address of the client is stored in memory (RAM) for up to 1 minute.
12+
Any other information provided is discarded after the request is answered. Requests are not logged.
