spf questions

Hello.  I have been received the alert that my spf isn't set up correctly.  I use zoho mail and mail chimp exclusively for emails.  If you look at the spf entry for my site: watercolortutor.com, You will see I have consolidated my spf entries for hostgator and zoho into one record.  I have created a subdomain to send my mail chimp emails from to keep my spf count below 10.  My questions are:

Is this the right configuration?
I can't verify the spf record through zoho mail.  It has been about 1 1/2 hours since I created the record.  Why can't I verify?  And why am I still getting the zoho alert that my spf isn't configured when it passes all tests on mxtoolbox?



Thanks for your time.
