nslookup or dig have switches that can retrieve the records. The spf
records are type text so to see the results of Bob's handy work

[j:\tmp]nslookup -type=txt listemail.net
Server: rns2.earthlink.net
Address: 207.217.77.82

Non-authoritative answer:
listemail.net text = "v=spf1 a:relay.pair.com ~all"

Authoritative answers can be found from:
listemail.net nameserver = ns5.ns0.com
listemail.net nameserver = ns46.pair.com
ns5.ns0.com internet address = 216.92.61.30

[j:\tmp]dig listemail.net txt
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> listemail.net txt
