There's no 'pobox' records -- the SPF record goes in the DNS records you
publish. Looks like your DNS is provided by "azhosting.biz' -- probably
your web provider too, I assume. If they don't let you set DNS records
directly, you really should consider switching to someone better.

Also, the required data really shouldn't change much. Your local telco
probably only has a handful of SMTP servers (if that) and their names
probably don't change much.

Or, if you're very lucky, _they_ use SPF already, and you can use the
'include:' SPF mechanism to refer to their record once and be done with it.
