Common mistakes
The user expects mail-server routing instead of text records.
Fix: Use MX lookup if the goal is to inspect mail servers.
The wrong subdomain is checked for verification records.
Fix: Make sure you query the exact host where the TXT record was added.
No TXT result appears because propagation is incomplete.
Fix: Wait for DNS propagation and check again if the record was added recently.
