unable to create txt record using amazon route 53
From the Route 53 admin page when adding a TXT record set:
A text record. Enter multiple values
on separate lines. Enclose text in
quotation marks.
Example:
"Sample Text Entries"
"Enclose entries in quotation marks"
If you use the API or Ansible Route53 module, and you need to set the value on separated lines (e.g. SPF + domain verification). For instance:
"v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com ?all"
"google-site-verification=
rXOxyZounnZasA8Z7oaD3c14JdjS9aKSWvsR1EbUSIQ"
Then the value should look like:
For API:
'"v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com ?all" "google-site-verification=
rXOxyZounnZasA8Z7oaD3c14JdjS9aKSWvsR1EbUSIQ"'
From AWS Route53 doc:
A TXT record contains a space-separated list of double-quoted strings
For Ansible:
'"v=spf1 include:mail.zendesk.com ?all", "google-site-verification=
rXOxyZounnZasA8Z7oaD3c14JdjS9aKSWvsR1EbUSIQ"'
Multiple comma-spaced values are allowed for non-alias records.
BTW: you can verify the validity of your SPF record using a tool like mxtoolbox.
