Example use cases

Base case: one-time flatten tool, just want to output flattened record:

go run main.go --domain <domain> --warn false

Dynamic update case: update SPF tool that acts without intervention. For example, a cron job that runs:

go run main.go --domain <domain> --initialSPF "<spfRecord>" --dryrun false --warn false --url "<url>" --authEmail "<email>" --authKey "<key>"

Dynamic warning case: recurring check SPF tool that alerts/warns on change. For example, a cron job that runs:

go run main.go --domain <domain> --intialSPF="<spfRecord>" 

Then once someone checks/approves of change, run once:

go run main.go --domain <domain> --initialSPF "<spfRecord>" --dryrun false --warn false --url "<url>" --authEmail "<email>" --authKey "<key>"
