$ host -t txt gmail.com gmail.com descriptive text "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.google.com" $ host -t txt _spf.google.com _spf.google.com descriptive text "v=spf1 ip4:216.239.32.0/19 ip4:64.233.160.0/19 ip4:66.249.80.0/20 ip4:72.14.192.0/18 ip4:209.85.128.0/17 ip4:66.102.0.0/20 ip4:74.125.0.0/16 ?all" if you're sending from your gmail.com address through it, you'll probably have better luck using Google. otherwise, your ISP (it can be fiddly setting up SMTP auth).
