What lives in TXT

SPF policies, Google and Microsoft site verifications, stripe and atlassian proofs, and some CAA-like product tokens. DKIM and DMARC are TXT records too, but they sit on different names — use those checks for them.

Long values

DNS splits a long TXT into 255-character chunks. Resolvers join them. A broken join is why an SPF record sometimes looks truncated in one tool and fine in another.
