Another popular use for this kind of records is the e mail SPF (Sender Policy Framework) protection, which makes sure that a particular email address shall not be spoofed and that individuals will not get junk mail from allegedly your mailbox. The TXT record contains info about the mail server where your electronic messages come from and serves as proof that it is a reliable one. Because there are no regulations concerning the content of this kind of a record, you could add any other info as well.
