This is a topic more appropriate to spf-help. If necessary, please continue
the conversation there...

The wizard looks at your MX records and also the reverse DNS (PTR record for
the IP addresses of your MX receivers):

mail.DWYER.COM. --> A 64.156.242.194 --> PTR exs.dwyer.com.
mail1.stickdog.COM. --> A 17.224.234.66 --> PTR relay.cosmoweb.net.

Nothing unusual going on here. Just the common case where forward and
reverse DNS don't match.
