Can you please make some indication of this on the SPF wizard page

Yes, that is a reasonable suggestion.
I think this is a prayer without an end. For example, recently some person
complained about the parentheses around the spf string the wizard generated. His
argument was that they were not neccesary in ms dns, and therefore the wizard
generated incorrect spf strings (although the fact that he then went on and
mentioned ms's sender id wizard as an 'spf tool' does indicate this person
is clueless in more than one respect).
What this tells is that you should probably have a seperate page, linked from
the wizard, where there are short howto's for each and every ns software we
know about. I do not feel it is our job to educate people on their own software,
but comments such as the one mentioned above does indicate that it is necesary
for some people.
