| them, an then said something like:
| 
|     This should also appear in DNS:
| 
|     chrome.jdl.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
|     jdl.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
|     mail.jdl.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
|     www.jdl.com. IN TXT "v=spf1 a -all"
| 
|     And they do, so this is good.

i'll make it say something more intelligent if the auxiliary records are
already there.
