Pasted the Google MX record target into a TXT record

0x64617665.co.uk. 3600 IN TXT "ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM"
What Happened
The TXT record for this domain contains `ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM` โ which is the hostname used as the target of a Google Workspace MX record. The admin was setting up Google Workspace email and pasted the MX target value into the TXT field instead of the MX field. MX records and TXT records are completely different. This does absolutely nothing.
Full TXT Record Value
