I registered a .name domain some time ago.

This worked great
until we set up SPF on our mail server. Now when I send a message
from [3]anthony(_at_)idmi(_dot_)net (my main address and the domain where
SPF is
setup on), the .name registrar tries to forward the message for us and
it gets blocked via SPF as it should. Is there anything the .name
registrar can do to "fix" this situation or will I have to add their
mail servers to my SPF records?
Wait, if you send mail from anthony(_at_)idmi(_dot_)net, why would it be
forwarded? You probably meant 'send mail TO anthony(_at_)idmi(_dot_)net' right?
It's a bit unclear how this construct you describe works, who is receiving the
mail? Why does a registrar forward mail _from_ someone?? Are you perhaps using
their mail server to send mail?
You could add their mail servers to your spf record, use the ? modifier for
that, since you are not the only one using those servers I imagine (leaving a
chance of forgery of your address).
Best thing would be for the forwarding server to implement SRS (see the paper
on www.libsrs2.org under Documentation).
