Trying to host my blog email on Zoho. i am trying to input a TXT value to add DomainKeys email authentication mechanism. Unfortunately, the field limit is 192 characters, and I am trying to add this to it

k=rsa; t=y;

with the TXT value as verify._domainkey.charlienicholas.com.

Didn’t work. Needs to be a TXT field. Was entered as a CNAME field. This is meant for Domain Keys, to help authenticate emails coming from my domain, as I use Zoho Mail to host my mail so I can send and receive emails using my domain

Trying to TXT record name be verify_domainkey.charlienicholas.com, and the record value be k=rsa; t=y;
p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDEhKXHVDPMo4srFuU69ZyHT+6OUqO8nEEjb/x1NgIsALPIOHZl8W4r60TNBiNn/JSv9tI2NkSJuLjLX+MAMBUVaxyxV8Zsddi+Jn/tGLJm/0A0iShEfAXriq31hvRLtN+VepWfvcMHKfcryPS1MhHHuA7z8oFh/AouoP2sgGfwcwIDAQAB.

However, your dns manager says that TXT records are limited to 192 characters. Is that a limit based on your servers, or is that a universal setting?

The CNAME field is a workaround for the size limitation. It should be functionally the same thing. Give it 24-48 hours to propagate and check again.
