Are you sure there *is* a TXT record? The dig(1) utility should work fine, AFAICT: $ dig freebsd.org txt | expand | grep -i '[ ][ ]*in[ ][ ]*txt' ;freebsd.org. IN TXT freebsd.org. 507 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:69.147.83.53 ip4:69.147.83.54 ip6:2001:4f8:fff6::35 ip6:2001:4f8:fff6::36 ~all" $ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
