could this be caused by no SPF record?

It's probably caused by a bad reverse lookup record for your server.

Are you using the same IP address to send e-mail now as you did
before?

What name does your server send in the HELO/EHLO command? Does that
name agree with the name in the PTR record for the server's IP
address?

Are you using the same hostname/ip address that you had with your ex2003
server?
If so, check your Send Connector to make sure it matches the reverse DNS for
your ip address.

If not, then make sure whoever is hosting the reverse DNS has the records
that matches your Send Connector.
