Pro move: type dmarc:yourdomain.com or blacklist:1.2.3.4 straight into the box — it switches tools for you.
About this tool. TXT records carry machine-readable text — SPF policies, site-verification proofs, security policies. This lookup lists them all and labels the ones it recognizes so you can see at a glance what each is for.
How to read your txt record lookup results
TXT records hold free-form text used for many things: SPF, domain verification, DKIM keys and more. We decode the common ones.
A domain can have many TXT records. Only one SPF record is allowed, so watch for duplicates.
Common problems and how to fix them
A verification is failing
Confirm the exact TXT value is present with no extra spaces or quotes, and that it is on the right host (apex vs a subdomain).
Two SPF records exist
That is invalid and breaks SPF. Merge them into a single record.
Common questions.What is a TXT record?
A DNS record that stores arbitrary text. It is used for email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and for proving domain ownership to third parties.
Why do I have so many TXT records?
Each service you verify or configure often adds one. That is fine, as long as you have only a single SPF record.
