} The first error found by pyspf is:
} 
}   SPF Permanent Error: Invalid IP4 address: ip4:216.148.227/24
} 
} ip4 requires full 32 bit ip addresses.

Oops.  I assumed it would assume trailing zeros.  Thanks.

} 
} You might try spf-test(_at_)openspf(_dot_)org (although that just says 
"permerror"
} and
} doesn't quote the problem mechanism).

I am using this, but wanted more details.

I knew it was wrong, but did not recall the details!  Lol
Scott is the man!
I will start using http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html

Thanks,
