We've marked the ptr mechanism as "deprecated" and >recommended people not use it in the RFC 4408bis draft we have in progress. equally mx is a pretty useless addition to spf as its 1+number of mxs in cost in your case 1 mx so cost=2 using a:bareed.racingvictoria.net.au on the other hand costs 1 dns lookup (and one less chance of fail) and as this server has 2 ips (and is in the same domain thus any change in its ip you already controll) replacing it with ip4:203.58.18.232 ip4:202.168.6.132 0 cost and 0 chance of servfail and as one of these ips is in your class c changing your spf from "v=spf1 ip4:202.168.6.0/24 cost 0 mx cost 2 ptr cost 2(minimum) ~all" to "v=spf1 ip4:202.168.6.0/24 ip4:203.58.18.232 ~all" cost 0 chance of servfail 0 with no actual change in function
