Changing servers, want to make sure Googlemail doesn't go down
2 things.
The TXT record is in fact an SPF record, stating that the two IPv4 addresses
84.45.57.143
and84.45.57.142
, as well as the A record for the domain itself, are allowed sender hosts. Validation of all email from any other hosts with your sender domain, should result inSoftFail
(meaning "probably"/"possibly" SPAM). So if you plan to migrate a mail solution from the old server(s), you definitely want to update this.You might want to check with google if you need to go through the domain verification process again, I think that's what the
google45673f3fa15785f3
record has been used for earlier. I don't think you need to do this when you move to a new Name Server, but better safe than sorry
