Hi Lynda,
I see your record is published as the "SPF" DNS type, but not as "TXT"
$ dig 3clug.org SPF +short
"v=spf1 a mx a:vuae.pair.com a:eight.pairlist.net include:relay.pair.com -all"
$ dig 3clug.org TXT +short
$
I think this is uncommonly used, I'd try duplicating the record as
the TXT type and see if Google accepts it.
If there aren't any other suggestions by tomorrow morning, I may try it,
but that really shouldn't matter. I'm amazed to say that I could find
only ONE site that had an SPF record, and that includes Google/Gmail,
and Yahoo, and Hotmail (none of them have any). I hesitate to post the
site that *does* have one, since LOPSA is public, and I don't think it
needs to get a zillion and one hits from google just because it's the
only thing I could find.
When I've looked at the information from the canonical site for SPF,
http://www.openspf.org/, on the other hand, they have precisely what
you've suggested (I did a dig for spf on their site), which lends strong
credence to your suggestion.
It doesn't make sense (why have an SPF entry in the DNS if you're not
going to use it), but there it is.
