But note that your SPF record shows 'mx', whereas the one I got shows 'a'. The record I get seems to come from ns2.eclipse.net.uk, whereas the records from 'ns1.devon.gov.uk' show the non-quoted 'mx' record. So it seems that their name servers are not quite in sync with respect to the TXT records, although the SOA shows the same serial numbers. Odd.
