Sorry, I forgot to answer to your question.

I've added this SPF record:

gnuherds.org.           300     IN      TXT     "v=spf1 a mx ~all"

Our feeling about SPF is that it is fundamentally flawed because it breaks
e-mail forwarding. We have an SPF record on @gnu.org, but our antispam
measures don't make use of SPF.

Thanks,
Ward.
