The charter.com restrictions are reasonable. The fact that your domain
DNS provider (bluesong.com?) would publish an SPF record for you, without

mind-boggling stupid/evil/anti-social. I suggest that you ditch your DNS
provider (for bluesong it is winsdns.com) ASAP. There are plenty of low
cost DNS providers that will let you add your own DNS records via a
friendly web interface (of course you need to learn what records are
needed...). Or just get a DNS provider with a clue.
I use both nettica.com and dnsmadeeasy.com.
With 15 domains, nettica.com has a good deal on up to 50 domains for
$50/year.
Once you have control of your own DNS, you can fix your SPF record to
allow you to send mail from charter, or whereever else you please (you
can also get SMTP Relay service on port 587/whatever so that you
don't really have to send through charter.com).
A DNS provider that makes arbitrary changes to your DNS is inherently
unreliable and should be ditched. And, yes, I publish a list:

I have some additions to make, so it's not complete, but what's there is
accurate as far as I know.
