Let me quickly reiterate what Anurag Bhatia has already told you. TXT
records are what you need. I went through a LOT of completely
unnecessary suffering, and discovered that while you CAN create an SPF
record, what you really need is a TXT record that performs this service.
Save yourself some suffering, and don't even bother with the SPF record
(this is for those of you who are just now considering making such a
thing). GoDaddy (for once) has saved you some sadness, here.
