I don't think your SPF implementation is doing the right  thing.  I'll

OT: SPF problem with the list?

I'm noticing that mail from perl6-* is showing up with this header:

Received-SPF: softfail (mail.ajs.com: transitioning domain of perl.org does
not designate 63.251.223.186 as permitted sender) client-ip=63.251.223.186;
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
helo=lists.develooper.com;

That is added by my local SPF-checker. It seems that x6.develooper.com
[63.251.223.186], which is sending these out this mail is not in
perl.org's SPF record (which would be fine if perl.org had no SPF
record, but it does). There's an easy way to say "and all of this other
domain's MXes too" in SPF, which is probably what was intended.

This is causing my spam filtering to slightly bump p6 mail toward spam
(though so far, I don't think I've gotten any false positives).

I take a somewhat proprietary interest in perl.org working well for
various historical/sentimental reasons, so I'd be happy to help with any
debugging / diagnosing of this if that would help.
