Thanks again Scott...here's my test...this domain is one that has no mail service:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/spf.ch?server=hypnosisonline.org&ip=209.132.161.151

I'll copy this to the rest of my "no mail" domains and the other entries to those that 
do tonite!

Chris

Those are the best type of domains to set up SPF records for -- you don't 
have to worry that somehow someone somewhere will send legitimate E-mail 
that will fail SPF.  In this case you can just set up an SPF record of 
"v=spf1 -all", to say that any E-mail coming from those domains is not 
legitimate.
