    Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response!

    I understand that you're trying to verify your custom domain and have added the TXT record to your Domain Server but are running into issues regarding the record not matching the expected values. To hopefully help point you in the right direction or resolve your issue, there are a few things you can check, and I'll share the steps below.

    If you have added the TXT record to your domain server and it is still showing an error in the admin center:

    1. Make sure that you have added the TXT record correctly. Double-check the record to ensure that it matches the expected value and that there are no typos or errors.
    2. Verify that the DNS changes have propagated. It can take some time for DNS changes to propagate across the internet. You can use a tool like nslookup or dig to check the DNS records for your domain and verify that the TXT record is present.
    3. Check that the TXT record is being served by the correct DNS server. If you have multiple DNS servers, make sure that the TXT record is being served by the correct server.
    4. Verify that the domain name you are trying to verify is correct. Make sure that you are trying to verify the correct domain name and that it is spelled correctly.
