At about the same time, Earthlink equally quietly removed the SPF

Yeah, and when they removed their records, my mail started bouncing
because I was including earthlink.net so my Dad's email would pass.
Can you tell us if it bounced immediately, or after a couple of days?
Such inconsistencies can easily be caused by regular DNS updates
(because of the propagation delay etc.), and they should result in
temporary failures at the SMTP level (not 5xx errors).
