say for example you are running bind8/9 and you host the example.com
domain.
you have a zone file example.com:

$TTL 86400
@ IN SOA ns0.example.com. root.example.com. (
2004091404 ; serial - yyyymmddn
10800 ; refresh
1800 ; retry
604800 ; expire
86400 ) ; minimum

;
; Define Name Server and the mail servers
;
IN NS ns0.example.com.
IN NS ns1.example.com.
IN MX 10 mx1.example.com.
IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx -all" <--- just add your
TXT info like so.
;

@ IN A ip.goes.here
ns0 IN A and.right.here


and hope this helps...

Hi,

I have a suspicion that you are not running your own dns, as you are
just now setting up the zone. If this is correct, and your dns is indeed
managed by your domain-provider or whatever, your own server is not the
correct place to set the txt records, you should instead set them at the
dns that is currently serving for your domain.

How to find out which dns servers are currently serving your domain? Do
a 'dig yourdomain.tld ns'.
