Hi,
Most impressed with the community response. Here is where I am currently. Using include gives a permerror, trying to mx murphx without any real success. The wrong way of doing things I guess. I have sent a request for SPF info to the ISP but failing this, will have to change provider or bypass. We used to be on Demon, changed before my arrival.

You have listed many things, but the important one is which mail
servers deliver mail for your domain. The message you sent to the list
has the headers:
Received: from mx-relay-02.edge-c.murphx.net
(mx-relay-02.edge-c.murphx.net [62.69.62.102]) by a-lb-mx-sd.listbox.com
(Postfix) with SMTP id DCCAB7A925 for <spf-help@v2.listbox.com>; Mon, 12
Oct 2009 08:26:17 -0400 (EDT)
Received: from unknown (HELO EXCHSVR.vc.virtual-college.co.uk)
(94.30.116.48) by mx-relay-vip.edge-c.murphx.net with SMTP; 12 Oct 2009
12:26:16 -0000
So your Exchange server is relaying ("smart host") through murphx.net.
If they deliver outbound mail to its destination, you should include
(only) their mail servers in your SPF record. If they cannot give you a
list, or an SPF record to include, SPF isn't going to work for
you...unless you deliver mail directly out or use a different provider.
