You know, you're right, I logged in to my easydns account and as near as I can figure, I forgot to add the trailing " mark after ~all. And... Since one mistake usually begets another, I probably typed in the domain on the second line as well. (before the "v=spf1...)
So the line with the string read rej.us "v=spf1 a ptr mx:mail.rej.us ~all Thanks again, I probably would never have caught that.

IN TXT \"v=spf1 a ptr mx:mail.rej.us ~all" Should read like this: $ host -t txt rej.us rej.us text "v=spf1 a ptr mx:mail.rej.us ~all" Looks like too much is in the record, the "rej.us IN TXT" is not supposed to be part of the txt record itself. In BIND it would define that the "v=spf1 a ptr mx:mail.rej.us ~all" is the text record.
