Yes, why not? The only case when SPF would stop them is if

where would they register this address?

Via the form for submitting a new ring. I'm simply talking about the ringmaster address they submitted.

- there is an SPF record for example.com (with '-all') that does
not state gunnar.cc as an allowed server, *and*

- the ring member's mail server rejects messages because of SPF
failures.

Okay, then give me examples of sending servers I would need to identify?

Thought I did that.

Sending what?

??

v=spf1 a a:webringworld.org -all

'using @webring.cc addresses at webringworld.org'

Seems to me that I do not need to identify any sending servers,
because I am not using @webring.cc addresses on any other domains, or
am I?

Nobody but you can tell.

The reason why I included 'a:webringworld.org' in the suggested SPF
record for webring.cc is that I happen to know that you manage a few
webrings hosted at webringworld.org, and I assumed that you may have
used @webring.cc addresses as ringmaster addresses (or master admin
address) there.

Just curious why AOL uses '?all'?

Probably to not stop their users from sending from AOL addresses via non-AOL mail servers.
