    To clarify,
    Code:
     dig google.com txt
    outputs that domains textfile. This means MX, A, CNAME, and all the other DNS records will be shown. If you just want to see the domain's SPF record, type:

    Code:
    dig google.com TXT | grep -i mx
    The "-i" flag instructs grep to look for and filter the "mx" string in the dig output regardless of case sensitivity.
