Sorry, I thought I did, it's logmein.com.
When I do a "host -t txt logmein.com", I get:
$ host -t txt logmein.com
logmein.com text "\"v=spf1 mx a:mail.logmein.com mx:mail.logmein.com

It looks like the record itself has double quotes at the beginning
and end.
The result that you'd want is:
$ host -t txt logmein.com
logmein.com text "v=spf1 mx a:mail.logmein.com mx:mail.logmein.com
ip4:213.134.11.178 ip4:213.134.0.121 ip4:63.209.251.67 ip4:63.209.251.66
ip4:63.209.251.65 ip4:63.209.251.100 ip4:63.209.251.90
ip4:63.209.251.102 ip4:12.110.136.130 ip4:206.252.158.207 -all"
I'm guessing you might have accidentally typed in the double-quotes in
some web-based dns admin form.
(Come to think of it, anyone writing one of these tools, spf wizards, or
validation checkers might want to warn or check for this easy error to
make.)
