Hmm.... not sure why I'd be seeing this lookup result come back, since as far as I can tell all my DNS setup is correct. This isn't resulting in a failure to deliver mail, at least, because the MAILFROM test still passes... but I wouldn't expect to be getting an error on HELO like this. Any ideas, or things I should additionally test?

Received-SPF: error (DNS MX lookup failed.?) SPF=HELO; sender=mail.billsden.org; remoteip=::ffff:66.218.52.56; remotehost=billsden.com; helo=mail.billsden.org; receiver=mail.revereacademy.com;

The result of the SPF lookup is "error" which indicates a temporary DNS error. The error should go away if the check is repeated.

No, definitely not temporary -- i've sent several test messages there with the same result. But when I actually go to the receiving host and run all manner of queries with host and dig, they work fine. Looking foward to hearing what Sam wanted to share about UltraDNS'es issue. ;-)
