TXT Record XSS
This is hilarious, but what's up with this line? >jamiehankins.co.uk descriptive text "v=spf1 include:spf.mandrillapp.com ?all"
Why is mandrillapp.com (tranactional email startup) included?

It's an SPF record. By adding your authorized mail servers to your DNS, recipient mail servers can "verify" that a given server is supposed to sending mail for your domain.

That's a legitimate record, not related to the XSS.
