I ran the SPF setup wizard from the spf.pobox.com site and it resulted
in the following lines to be inserted into DNS:

las-DSL224-cust088.mpowercom.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
mail.xidix.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
mail2.xidix.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
wsip-24-234-126-147.lv.lv.cox.net. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"

Why does it specify the 1st and 4th lines?  The 1st line appears to be
the RDNS suffix of our primary inbound server and the 4th line appears
to be the RDNS of our backup inbound mail server IP address.  

In addition, the wizard said that it found 4 MX records for our server.
We only have 2 (see
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=xidix.com). Why did
it find 4 MX records?  Why should it care how many MX records we have?
These are to specify incoming mail servers and SPF is to specify
outgoing mail servers (that mail for my domain is allowed to be sent
from).  Or am I missing something here?

We only send mail from 1 IP address.  Can I just specify that 1 address?
I want to specify that all mail for this domain (Xidix.com) is sent from
a single IP address (208.57.224.88).

What am I missing in this picture?
