In Server -> DNS Options: SPF record misreads IPs and hostnames

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version Debian Linux 10
Webmin version 2.101
Virtualmin version 7.7
Related packages bind

This time I tracked the wrong behaviour by copying /var/lib/bind/(domain).hosts before my changes in Virtualmin.

When opening “Server → DNS Options” I get wrong entries in the corresponding text fields:

cr => should read: cranus.domain.tld

Looking in the saved bind file after adding/changing something, I see later in the SPF line:

anus.domai" "n.tld

An ipv6 IP is fully missing in the field “Allowed sender IPv6 addresses” but changed from

ip6:2a03:4000:28:XXX:YYYY" ":28ff:feee:b801

to

" ":28ff:feee:b801 2a::6

So, may be this is due to too much entries in our SPF … but anyway there should be an error message, and at least: Virtualmin should not save crippled entries!

I can send you the full diff of the DNS file in private.
