Overview
The goal of this web page is have a list of Domain Registrars and DNS providers that support TXT Records in DNS. This page was originally hosted at http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/news/spf/ (don't go there, it's not there any more) and is derived from that effort. My thanks to Josep M. for having created the original list.
TXT DNS records are used by multiple e-mail technologies used to assist in identifying the actual sender of e-mail to publish information needed from senders by receivers to make the technology work. SPF was the first major technology in this area and is still the most widely deployed. Yahoo! DomainKeys (DK) was next, although it is being replaced by DKIM. Finally, DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) signing has been standarized by the IETF and is being deployed. The policy component for DKIM, ADSP is under development by an IETF working group.
If you want enable any of these technologies as a sender and your DNS provider does not support TXT records in DNS, you need to use another DNS service or change your Domain Registrar, in this case this list can help. Your choice.
This list started out with an SPF focus, but I am expanding it to cover support for DNS functions needed for DK and DKIM too. I will list as many Domain Registrars and DNS providers as possible, so if the Domain Registrar or DNS Provider that you use is not in the list, please with the web page of your Domain Registrar or DNS Provider, if supports this feature or not, and any specifics that should be noted. (email addresses will not be used other than to personally confirm your submission, if necessary).
Note: If any Domain Registrar or DNS Provider now supports this feature or anything else is wrong, please and I will update this list as soon as possible. I am also interested in knowing which providers support the new SPF DNS record type (Type 99), if they allow you to use an underscore in the domain name for the TXT record, and finally if they support sub-domain DNS delegation. If you don't know what any of those are, don't worry. Also if there are any special limitations worth noting, please include that.
