You should list all the e-mail servers that deliver outgoing
mail for your domain. If you don't have a mail server in your office,
your office IP should not be listed in your SPF record.

Define "still able"...the receiving server has to check for SPF.
Does the server you're sending mail to do that? Also you used "~all"
which is a "soft fail" error code, implying you are still testing your
SPF record. Use "-all" if you want to tell others to reject forged
e-mails.
