The new TXT record has now been added and
the change will be made available according to your selection in the TTL
field.The TXT record is an abbreviation of text. The TXT record is a customised text message that is directly registered in the zone file of your domain. TXT records can help you to verify your domain ownership and to prevent spam abuse.
A DNS search has to be performed in order to see this text. The text record is used by some companies to verify that customers have access to the zone file and are the real owners of the domain. The hostname and value of the record will depend on the purpose of the record, and this might vary between different applications or services. Generally TXT entries are used as SPF records, or Sender Policy Framework records, an e-mail validation system designed to prevent spam abuse.
If you are using Microsoft Office 365, a default TXT record will be created. If you edit this record, you are able to reset the original Microsoft Office 365 records by clicking on Update DNS Settings in the Microsoft Office 365 administration screen.
