Appwrite DNS - semicolon bug
does appwrite escape semicolon character ";" in the TXT or any record ? We are setting DMARC and DKIM records for Google and it looks like that the value is cut off after the first semicolon, should we create PR ?
We can confirm that it is an issue, because export and import using Appwrite Cloud shows the RAW.txt DNS records also incorrectly:
_dmarc 10 IN TXT v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:jon@snow.got; ruf=mailto:jon@snow.got; fo=1;
Should be inside quotes like this:
_dmarc 10 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:jon@snow.got; ruf=mailto:jon@snow.got; fo=1;"
TL;DR
Developers wondering if Appwrite escapes the semicolon character in DNS records, as setting DMARC and DKIM records for Google does not work properly due to semicolon issues. Import/export operations on Appwrite Cloud also display TXT DNS records incorrectly. The solution is to enclose the TXT value in quotes to ensure semicolons are interpreted correctly, like this: `_dmarc 10 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:jon@snow.got; ruf=mailto:jon@snow.got; fo=1;"`Appwrite DNS - bug
