Here is my current spf1 record:

As James pointed out, you also had the record:

userfriendly.net.       86238   IN      TXT     "The UserFriendly Network"



Now, my partner received an email with the following headers:

Return-Path: <partners(_at_)userfriendly(_dot_)net>
Received: from PC31 ([218.38.114.41])by niteowl.userfriendly.net

[...]
Received-SPF: unknown (niteowl: error in processing during lookup of
partners(_at_)userfriendly(_dot_)net)

I checked this with the perl Mail::SPF::Query, libspf and libspf-alt
implementations and they all passed.  Could you please let me know
which SPF implementation you are using?
