Well they seem to use SPF:

I assume though that the escaped quotes are invalid (thus rendering the

The tool

Agrees.

Publishing a broken SPF record doesn't stop them rejecting email spuriously from other senders. Indeed it makes it easier as they won't accidentally reject their own email, so will see less issues with SPF.
