Looks like it is working now:
220 gold.pobox.com ESMTP Postfix
HELO mail.bmsi.com
250 gold.pobox.com
MAIL FROM: <stuart(_at_)bmsi(_dot_)com>
250 Ok
RCPT TO: <dmq(_at_)pobox(_dot_)com>
554 <dmq(_at_)pobox(_dot_)com>: Recipient address rejected: spf returned DENY:
Please see
http://spf.pobox.com/why(_dot_)html?sender=stuart(_at_)bmsi(_dot_)com&ip=141.156.111.136&receiver=gold.pobox.com
I guess we shamed them into fixing it :-)
Notice that the reject doesn't come until *after* RCPT TO because
their policy is determined by the recipient.
