Or "#dig -t TXT domain.tld" will do the same thing.

As if it wasn't already obvious,
my opinions are my own and not
those of my employer.


You don't even need the -t flag.  `dig TXT host` will do the trick... and let's 
not forget about the newer, dedicated SPF record type; to query that, use `dig 
SPF host`.


Big thank you to everyone who has responded!

At least now I know that the domain's SPF record is not set correctly, contrary to what the admin told me.

$ dig TXT slowo.pl
;; ANSWER SECTION:
slowo.pl.               16802   IN      TXT     "Slowo Dnia"

I appreciate your help! Thanks!
