Another popular use for this sort of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, which helps to ensure that a particular email address shall not be spoofed and that individuals will not get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes information about the mail server where your electronic messages come from and serves as verification that it is a reliable one. Because there are no restrictions concerning the content of this sort of a record, you could add any other information also.
