   Sounds like you're trying to do what I used to do ...   
      
   I used to send outgoing mail via my ISP's outbound mail server, and,   
   like you, I wanted -all.  My ISP's SPF record used ~all, so I used their   
   SPF record to find their mail hosts/addresses, and then put those   
   directly into my SPF record rather than using include:ISP.   
      
   I just checked...  t-mobile.com's SPF "TXT" record is:   
      
   "v=spf1 mx a:mail1.t-mobile.com a:mail3.t-mobile.com a:maila.t-mobile.com   
    a:mailc.t-mobile.com include:aspmx.pardot.com include:_spf.q4press.com ~all"   
      
   mail1.t-mobile.com: 206.29.177.243 206.29.177.244 206.29.177.245   
      206.29.177.246 206.29.177.247   
      
   mail3.t-mobile.com: 208.54.102.78 208.54.102.81 208.54.102.80   
      208.54.102.79 208.54.102.77   
      
   maila.t-mobile.com: 206.29.177.252 206.29.177.253 206.29.177.251   
      206.29.177.250   
      
   mailc.t-mobile.com: 208.54.102.83 208.54.102.76 208.54.102.75 208.54.102.82   
      
   but that doesn't include the SPF include's.   
      
   [There's also t-mobile.{at,co.uk,cz,de,hr,hu,mk,nl,pl,sk} and maybe   
    others, but Panix suggests you're in the U.S. and wouldn't care about   
    those.]

   Indeed.  :)
