~ or - for SPF Record

Post by seodevhead »

I run a dedicated server and am making sure I setup my SPF record correctly. I see there are two ways you can set it up...

"v=spf1 a mx ~all"

or

"v=spf1 a mx -all"

.. the top having the tilda before '~all', whilst the bottom is just a dash '-all'.

Which one should I use? Anyone know? I see tutorials using both ways but no one seems to explain the difference. Thanks guys.
