Speakeasy just implemented SPF records - badly

[Steve Prior <sp...@geekster.com>]

In case anyone else is going to run into this, sometime
yesterday speakeasy.net implemented default SPF records
for all of their DNS hosting customers.

The problem is that they did it badly.  No notification
whatsoever was sent out that they were doing this and no
chance to review (or even change after the fact) the SPF
record they generated, so in my case it was impossible to
list another mail server who is allowed to send mail for
my domain and I started getting bounced email.  When I
pointed this out to them they told me I'd just have to
start using webmail instead of what I was doing before.
They don't host my domain anymore.

If you have speakeasy.net hosting your DNS you should
review your new SPF record ASAP.

I don't see it for the two domains they host for me. I did a dig for txt 
records for the root of each domain and don't see any.
