Cyclescape email SPF

[davidearl]

R forwarded the following to me as Edward mistakenly attributed this to Camcycle rather than Cyclescape.

Your cyclescape spf record shows a:cyclescape.org, but if, as I suspect, you are using MB's email smart hosting, the SPF needs to include:_spf.mythic-beasts.com as that's the server that actually connects to the remote email.

@mvl22 do you want to take this up? I don't have the Mythic Beasts credentials.

I believe this is now in place.

Thanks for flagging this up.
