I do have a quick question, I just set up a SPF string on my DNS 
hosting and when I test it I get the response SPF lookup of sender 
user(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)com from IP X.X.X.X:


SPF string used: v=spf1 ip4:X.X.X.X/28 ip4:X.X.X.X/28 mx ptr ~all.

Processing SPF string: v=spf1 ip4:X.X.X.X/28 ip4:X.X.X.X/28 mx ptr 
~all.

Testing 'ip4:X.X.X.X/28' on IP=X.X.X.X, target domain X.X.X.X/28, CIDR 
28, default=PASS. MATCH! Testing 'ip4:X.X.X.X/28' on IP=X.X.X.X, target

domain X.X.X.X/28, CIDR 28, default=PASS.
Testing 'mx' on IP=X.X.X.X, target domain mydomain.com, CIDR 32,
default=PASS.
Testing 'ptr' on IP=X.X.X.X, target domain mydomain.com, CIDR 32,
default=PASS.
Testing 'all' on IP=X.X.X.X, target domain mydomain.com, CIDR 32,
default=SOFTFAIL.


what would cause a softfail on the ~all"?  I am within range of my ip 
addresses specified.  Thanks in advance

Because that's what ~all means.  Your SPF record ends in ~all.

What the test is doing is telling you that it's evaluating each
mechanism in the record.  In real life, once a match is found,
evaluation stops.  As you can see from:

Testing 'ip4:X.X.X.X/28' on IP=X.X.X.X, target domain X.X.X.X/28, CIDR 
28, default=PASS. MATCH!

Your record matched the mechanism you expected it to.  I don't believe
that there is a problem here.  I'd suggest you follow-up on spf-help if
necessary.
