Re: [webmin-l] DNS Text records

[Steve C. <cam...@cn...>]

Thanks loads Jamie,

I guess these aged eyes didn't even see that icon due to the big "TXT" 
letters on the screen.

It looks like the SPF form is quite complete. Great job!! Is it prefered 
that a user enters the fields in the SPF screen versus the TXT screen, or is 
it a matter of preference if the user knows the string to put into the TXT 
record? It appears either would work (providing this user knows what he is 
looking for after adding the record).

Very grateful and feeling a little foolish.

Steve
