Another popular use for this kind of records is the email SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, that makes sure that an e-mail address won't be spoofed and that others will not get unsolicited mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record features information about the mail server where your online messages come from and functions as confirmation that it is a dependable one. Because there are no standards concerning the content of this sort of a record, you can add any other info as well.
