Overview
This document describes how to add a TXT record to identify and describe a domain name. Most TXT records are used as SPF records (for anti-spam).
Directions
Note:
1. Log in to the DNSPod Console.
2. In Authoritative Resolution page, click the domain for which to add a TXT record to enter its Record Management page as shown below:
3. Click Add Records and enter the following record information as shown below:
Host Record: enter a subdomain. For example, when adding a TXT record for
www.dnspod.com, you can simply select "www" in the "Host" field. If you only want to add a TXT record for dnspod.com, select "@" in the "Host" field.Record Type: select "TXT".
Line Type: select "Default"; otherwise, the domain may not be resolvable for certain users.
Record Value: there is no fixed format requirement. In most cases, TXT records are used as SPF records for anti-spam. The most typical example of a TXT record in SPF format is "v=spf1 a mx ~all", which means that only the IP addresses in the A and MX records of this domain have permission to use this domain to send emails.
Weight: leave it empty.
Priority: leave it empty.
TTL: it is the cache time and 600s by default. The smaller the value, the faster the change to the record will take effect in various regions.
4. Click Confirm.
