From the GoAdmio knowledge base.

TXT Lookup

This page explains the TXT Lookup tool in GoAdmio. It queries and displays the TXT (Text) records for any domain — including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, domain verification strings, and other metadata published in DNS.

Location: Admin Panel → DNS Tools → TXT Lookup
Location (User Panel): DNS Tools → TXT Lookup


Overview

TXT records are free-form text entries in DNS. They were originally used for human-readable notes, but today they carry critical machine-readable configuration:

| Purpose | Example |
|---|---|
| SPF — authorized mail senders | v=spf1 a mx include:... ~all |
| DKIM — email signing public key | v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIGf... |
| DMARC — email authentication policy | v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:... |
| Domain verification | google-site-verification=... |
| Site ownership | facebook-domain-verification=... |
| DNS-based service discovery | _acme-challenge, _dmarc, _domainkey |

The TXT Lookup tool retrieves and displays all TXT records for a domain, so you can verify email authentication, confirm domain ownership, and diagnose deliverability issues.

> Note: TXT records are the source of truth for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. If these records are wrong or missing, email from the domain will fail authentication and likely land in spam or be rejected. See SPF / DKIM for the full configuration guide.


What the Page Shows

| Field / Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Domain | The domain being queried |
| TXT Records | All TXT records returned |
| Content | The record's text value |
| TTL | Time-to-live for the record |
| Type | If classified: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, or generic |
| Status | Whether the record is valid (e.g., SPF syntax, DKIM key) |

> Tip: The exact layout depends on your GoAdmio version. Some classify the records by type; others show the raw TXT values.


How to Look Up TXT Records

  1. Log in to the GoAdmio Admin Panel (or User Panel).
  2. Navigate to DNS Tools → TXT Lookup.
  3. Enter the domain name (e.g., example.com).
  4. Click Lookup (or Search).
The TXT records are displayed.

Understanding the Results

SPF record

The SPF record starts with v=spf1 and lists the servers authorized to send email for the domain.
