   I remember other heart customers having similar issue (no SPF at all, or   
   incorrect SPF) but can't remember if heart fixed it after a phone call,   
   or the customers fixed it by leaving heart!   
      
   In short what you need is that heart add an SPF record to the DNS for   
   your cdixon.me.uk domain containing   
      
   v=spf1 include:_spf.virginmedia.com ~all   
      
   which tells other email servers "when you're checking if I'm legit,   
   allow the servers that virgin nominate as valid" and "meh to anything   
   else", but not actually "block anything else".   
      
   If you use other email servers in addition to virgin's (e.g. your mobile   
   provider when away from home) then they need to be included too.
