Manually adding an autodiscover record to your DNS

If you are trying to manually setup an autodiscover record for a mail service then the format is as follows:

Record NameTypePriorityValue

_autodiscover._tcp SRV 5 0 443 mailserver.example.com
[RECORD] [RECORD TYPE] [priority] [weight] [port] [target]

If your DNS provider doesnt have SRV records available to you – it might theoretically be possible to use a TXT record with the priority, port and target value in it.  I cannot find if that will work or not.
