I'm working on implementing spf on a small domain that I maintain, and it doesn't seem to be working (according to the validators I'm using.) I'd like to be able to query the dns server myself, but I can't seem to find anything on how to extract or view TXT records for a domain. I tried dig @server domain TXT and dig @server domain MX, but I don't get the TXT record. -- Paul Schmehl (pauls@utdallas.edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
