Interesting.

The welcome mail from barn.listbox.com was SPFError.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 Performing check HELO = barn.listbox.com, MAILFROM = 
listbox+trampoline+1020+8223029+130584d3(_at_)listbox(_dot_)com

 MX = SPFNeutral
 handling modifier: redirect=%{l1r+}._at_.%{o2}._spf.pobox.com
 query result = SPFError

This mail from thorn.listbox.com was SPFPass.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

server thorn is the MX handler for the second message, it passes.

server barn (the first message) is apparently not handled. Is it?

The welcome to message that was sent to me has SPF Error in the test.

most strange.  --troy


it's header:

X-SPF: (76aa009300000ae5) SPFError

That header was added by your host.  Using the RFC 4408 compliant validator I 
maintain:

http://www.kitterman.com/spf/validate.html

That IP address and v2.listbox.com as a domain I get an SPF Pass.  Listbox has 
a very complex SPF record and some older, non-RFC complian, SPF libraries may 
not deal with it well.  I'd suggest you report this issue your provider.  
Additionally, RFC 4408 specifies a header field for reporting SPF results.  
Your provider should use that instead of a made up X-SPF header.
