General DNS / SPF question

Hello everyone,

This is my first time posting here, and I'm not sure if it's the right 
place or not to ask my question. This is a general DNS question, 
specifically, I think, SPF.

(Btw, I do use Bind in my system, so that's why I'm here.)

I host email using SmarterMail, and all 400+ customers either use a 
regular email client (desktop app/mobile device) or the webmail interface.

One particular customer wants to use Gmail as their email client for 
sending email from their domain. I helped set up the settings at gmail 
for the SMTP server, and did the google-siteverification and added 
_include:gmail.com_ to the SPF TXT record, as well as DKIM and DMARC 
configured. I get green lights for the domain from Dmarcian (well, they 
said I had a duplicate SPF value, which I have removed).

The emails that get sent *do* arrive for other users on my email server, 
but *not* to email addresses off-server, ie; @live.com

I can see the traffic from gmail in my logs, and it appears the emails 
are sent, but they do not arrive.

Stumped. Any spare brain cells available out there would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mik
