Used toPublish SPF, verify domain ownership for Google, Microsoft and others.

Command Linedig +short example.com TXT
A single TXT string is at most 255 characters; longer values, such as DKIM keys, are split into several strings that are joined back together.
Records are cached for their TTL, so a changed TXT record can take up to the old TTL to show everywhere. Lower the TTL a day before planned changes.
