i am trying to configure SPF records to keep my mail server on the safe side.
would i be entering the SPF below on Custom DNS or editing the template.
mydomainname.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all"
* i have entered the records using custom DNS, hoping that it is the correct procedure.

both "custom dns" and "edit dns template" has same effect,
in dns template, you edit whole dns of a domain,
in custom dns, you can add individual dns records..
Further explanation for whom interested:
i think generally, "custom dns" should be used, "dns template" should not be edited as long as you can, since, it is already built from general dns template. if you edit dns template for a domain, it will no longer use general dns template, and if in future you modify general dns template, your domains with edited dns template will not reflect those changes in general dns template..
edited dns templates for domains do not use general dns template
your general (ehcp/system wide) dns template is in file dnszonetemplate in ehcp dir.
When you edit dns template for a domain, it is copied from dnszonetemplate file and stored in database hereafter

i've added the spf records using the custom DNS, but the SPF records still do not show, emails get listed as SPAM by, hotmail, yahoo and gmail.
is there a way to manually edit these DNS changes?

as i know, spf records are used by hotmail only, not gmail or yahoo.
you dont need to use spf for yahoo and gmail.
spam is not measured by only spf.
you should also clear your ip in spam/black lists in internet..

just thought I'd be extra cautious by using SPF.

This topic is similar to topic: http://ehcp.net/?q=node/557#comment-699
custom apache/http and custom dns are very similar in ehcp.
both has a general config (apachetemplate, dnszonetemplate) which is used for all (non-custom edited) domains
both may be edited in per-domain basis using edit custom http or dns template.
