Adding a TXT Record A TXT record is a resource record, commonly used for verification purposes and email validation. Email validation records usually come in 2 forms - DKIM and SPF - which are set up as TXT in order to validate and authenticate email. If you are instructed to set up a DKIM and SPF, you would select TXT. TXT records usually contain a lot of text and unlike other DNS records, the record can contain spaces and various special characters. Your provider will supply your records and the formatting is fairly straightforward with a long string of text which, goes in the answer section.
