In the most common situation, this sort of record is used to prove that you own a domain name in case you are trying to add it to a search engine or to some web traffic analytics platform. Due to the fact that just the domain address owner/administrator may add custom DNS records, the TXT record serves as a verification of ownership for the business supplying the service. Another popular use for this sort of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, which helps to ensure that an email address isn’t spoofed and that people will not receive unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features details about the mail server where your digital messages arrive from and serves as verification that it is a reliable one. As there are no standards concerning the content of this kind of a record, you could add any other information as well.
