    You have too many dns lookups in your spf record.  SPF has a max of 10 dns lookups so it appears that you reached the max before it reached include:spf.mail.hostpoint.ch

     

    Take a deeper look at your SPF and try to clean it up.  IP addresses do not count as a look so convert to IP where you can.

    Michael_Larrivee Thank you so much. I was suspecting this might be the cause but i was never sure! I will reduce the includes and am sure that will solve the problem.
