Hi Moshe,
Thanks that is very helpful. I actually added two SPF records...one that Google Apps generated (DKIM) and one that was the Dreamhost one from their wiki so basically I had 2 spfs covering ALL mail servers (Google and Dreamhost)--I think. I sent myself a test email at 6:25 p.m. and I actually got it! Woo hoo. But I've modified the Dreamhost SPF to include the google one as you recommended and will test again. And BINGO, it works. Could be too that DH tech support did something on their end (I got one email from them, but nothing else yet).

I find it strange (but not) that it worked literally 30 days ago and now I need this record, but oh well. Again, will wait and see if I get a response from DH again.

Justin--thanks for your troubleshoot/brainstorm--the google apps mail that you mention led me to the right solution!

Moshe, again, Thanks for your help and explanations!

Woohoo!

Karen <--who still really doesn't understand SPF or DKIM but whatever.

According to the lookup I just did, you copied the SPF record from the DreamHost wiki page that you referenced.  That will not work.  Your SPF record does not contain Google's addresses and this will cause all mail sent through Google Apps to be rejected (which I assume isn't what you want).  DreamHost's Wiki is assuming that you will be sending mail form their servers ONLY, which is not the case.

You need to add the following to your MX record. (Add it right before the word "mx" at the end): include:_spf.google.com

You also should change the "-" (hyphen/dash) before the word "all" to a "~" (tilde).
