Another popular use for this sort of records is the e-mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) security, that ensures that an e-mail address isn’t spoofed and that individuals will not get junk e-mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record includes details about the mail server where your electronic messages come from and serves as proof that it is a trusted one. Since there are no regulations about the content of this kind of a record, you could add any other information also.
