Problem adding TXT record.

[eminata]

Detailed description

When I want to add a TXT record, the dot character added to the beginning of the domain name causes the process to terminate with an error.

Possible implementation

When adding a TXT record, the domain name must not start with a dot character.

Hi @eminata,

As far as I know, a record can never start with a dot. This is not a limitation of this package, but it's the way how DNS works. If you think this is incorrect, feel free to reopen this issue and post the error you've received.

Help

If I remove the dot at the beginning of the domain name, the operation is successful. If this is not an error, how should I proceed?

That is correct. To add a record for the zone itself (without 'subdomain', in your case domain.com) you can use domain.com as the record name, or the @ shortcut. This will create a TXT record for domain.com.

Thank you i'm grateful, the correct answer for me is to use @, sorry for taking your time.
