  I’m trying to set up my domain to send email (not from wordpress.com servers) and I need to add some long TXT records for DKIM signing. You have a limit of 192 characters on a TXT record. How do I get this increased and it’s impossible to increase why was 192 characters chosen as a limit?

  I’m sorry, but the Custom DNS feature at WordPress.com only allows for 192 characters, and there isn’t a way yet to increase this.

  We do have plans to update it, but it’s not something that can be put into place immediately because of how the tools we currently use for managing DNS on the servers are set up.
