Ok thanks.  Is v=spf1 mx ~all the correct syntax to use?

  I don't use Net Sol anymore (thank $DEITY), but I can make some educated 
guesses:

  By "host" they really mean "subdomain".  The rest is just like
RFC-1035 zone file syntax.  So "* (All Others)" is a wildcard record.
It would match any request for a subdomain which does not have any other 
records.  "@ (None)" refers to the origin domain, <mortonwelding.com.> with no 
subdomain.

  SPF is generally configured for the 2LD (second level domain, i.e., 
<mortonwelding.com.>), so you would want to enter your SPF information in the  
"@ (None)" line.
