• TTL: 3600 (1 hour)

Additional MX Records:

• Priority: 5
• Target: alt1.aspmx.l.google.com

Notes:

• The MX records are used to direct incoming mail to Google's mail servers.
• The SPF record helps prevent spam by verifying the authenticity of the sender's IP address.
• The DKIM record helps prevent email spoofing by verifying the authenticity of the sender's domain.
• The DMARC record helps prevent email spoofing by specifying how to handle emails that fail authentication.
• The TTL (Time To Live) values are set to 1 hour, which means that the records will be cached for 1 hour before being updated.
