Here's ours for west21.com. I'm no SPF expert, so I built it using the wizard at pobox.com
west21.com TXT v=spf1 ip4:64.21.154.0/24 ip4:66.246.161.0/25 a mx -all
If I understand it correctly, this is my layman's descriptions of the code.
the v-spf1 says that this is an SPF description.
ipv4:64.21.154.0/24 says that mail from west21.com can come from any machine in the range of 64.21.154.1 to 64.21.154.255 which is one of our netblocks.
Likewise for ip4:66.246.161.0/25, our other netblock
the "a" means mail can come from the IP address attached to the "a" record for "west21.com"
and it can come from the IP address of any of our MX records
by default all those declarations are "accept"
the -all means "deny" all others
