Nslookup -q=txt <domain>


For example Microsoft.com has SPF and domainKeys, it appears:



C:\>nslookup -q=txt microsoft.com

Server:  dsldns-va.embarqhsd.net

Address:  208.33.159.39



Non-authoritative answer:

microsoft.com   text =



        ""FbUF6DbkE+Aw1/wi9xgDi8KVrIIZus5v8L6tbIQZkGrQ/rVQKJi8CjQbBtWtE64ey4NJJw

j5J65PIggVYNabdQ=="."

microsoft.com   text =



        "IN"

        ""FbUF6DbkE+Aw1/wi9xgDi8KVrIIZus5v8L6tbIQZkGrQ/rVQKJi8CjQbBtWtE64ey4NJJw

j5J65PIggVYNabdQ=="."

microsoft.com   text =



        "v=spf1 mx include:_spf-a.microsoft.com include:_spf-b.microsoft.com inc

lude:_spf-c.microsoft.com include:_spf-ssg-a.microsoft.com ip4:131.107.115.212 i

p4:131.107.115.215 ip4:131.107.115.214 ip4:205.248.106.64 ip4:205.248.106.30 ip4

:205.248.106.32 ~all"



If you get an SOA record, it means there are no text records.



C:\>nslookup -q=txt yahoo.com

Server:  dsldns-va.embarqhsd.net

Address:  208.33.159.39



yahoo.com

        primary name server = ns1.yahoo.com

        responsible mail addr = hostmaster.yahoo-inc.com

        serial  = 2010101104

        refresh = 3600 (1 hour)

        retry   = 300 (5 mins)

        expire  = 1814400 (21 days)

        default TTL = 600 (10 mins)



I don't have time to answer the public vs. non-public question right now, 
perhaps someone else can join in...

Subject: Entire SPF record publically seen?



 Just a quick question and easy I'm sure.  Is it possible to view the SPF 
record of another domain?  Additionally, just how much of your DNS records are 
publically available?
