The dig utility is pretty convenient to use  The order of the arguments don t really matter I ll show you some easy examples  To get all root name servers use    dig   To get a TXT record of a specific host use    dig example com txt   dig host example com txt   To query a specific name server just add  nameserver tld    dig host example com txt  a iana-servers net   The SPF RFC4408 says that SPF records can be stored as SPF or TXT  However nearly all use only TXT records at the moment  So you are pretty safe if you only fetch TXT records   I made a SPF checker for visualising the SPF records of a domain  It might help you to understand SPF records better  You can find it here  http   spf myisp ch
