If you upgrade to 2.0.03, it will tell you the following whenever you
try to put a ~ in a TXT (or SPF--yes, MaraDNS has native SPF record
support) record:

man csv2_txt for more information

(You're not the first person to have this issue)

The reason why the ~ is not allowed is to make it possible to parse
zone files using awk and an RS of ~; this make automation with scripts
that much easier.
