Alternatively, DynDNS.org could extend their services and publish

"_spf.customers.dyndns.org".  Then you could use "exists:%{ir}._spf.
customers.dyndns.org" instead.

Uhm, that would have to read "_spf.<dyndns-user-id>.customers.dyndns.
org", in order for each user to have his own "box" of IP address
"slots", with only one "A" record each (matching that exact user's
current dynamic IP address).

That would always exist, and any mail from anyone would pass. :-)

No, it wouldn't.  Only "<user's-current-ip-address-in-reverse._spf.
<user-id>.customers.dyndns.org" would exist.

You have not specified what you were rewriting. It looked like what
you have suggested was
"exist:_spf.<dyndns-user-id>.customers.dyndns.org", hence my reply. It
is now clear of what it was supposed to be. Thanks for suggestion,
sorry for misunderstanding. :-)

Now we only need to convince dyndns.org to do that for its users. :-) 

Constantine.
