All that aside, the ~all bit in our SPF record means "SPF
Neutral", as I understand it. This means, as I understand
things, that Road Runner neither confirms nor denies that a
given IP not explicitly mentioned in our SPF record can be a
legitimate source of mail from Road Runner. The receiving
domain doing the SPF checking can either accept or reject email
from an IP not explicitly mentioned in our SPF record, and both
decisions would be correct, as I understand things.

Based on the latest draft, the should not reject either, but particularly in
the case of a SoftFail, may do some extra processing on it. It sounds to me
like what is in your current record (SoftFail) is actually what you want.
I think you're right; thanks for the clarification.
