Yep.  I was looking for a header saying that they check SPF from the
outside.  That just shows that they've enabled it for sites checking
their servers.

I want to know if they're checking SPF records from elsewhere.

Yeah, same here, but I don't manage millions of messages in a day.
I have few enough people that I know when something's wrong with AOL
immediately, because one complaint is all I need.  Unfortunately,
they appear to not even be willing to budge this time (AOL, that
is).  Whatever.  My personal opinion is that the Internet would be
better without America Online.
