How many hosts have a name ending in "cox.net", and why do you
allow all of them to send mail on your behalf ?

Because he sometimes sends mail through those ISPs.  What is probably better
practice in that situation is the following:

1) TXT electrophobia.com:
    "v=spf1 ?ptr:cox.net include:dsis.net include:easydns.com -all"

In fact, any ISP you include that does not actively prevent
cross-customer forgery should be NEUTRAL.
