Confused with DNS When moving my web hosting but keeping mail hosting, how do I change the SPF TXT records on three serversDNS record with an IP address?

My website was previously on a windows server A with ip 79.137.24.24879.137.24.248 but my mail server was on a linuxLinux hosting with ip of 185.81.99.111185.81.99.111. There waswere three DNS record that waswere connecting these two servers:

RecordName: example.com. RecordType: MX data: mail.example.com.

RecordName:mail RecordType:A data: 185.81.99.111

RecordName:example.com. RecordType:TXT data:v=spf1 mx a ip4:79.137.24.248/32 ~all

  1. Name: example.com.
    Type: MX
    Data: mail.example.com.
  2. Name: mail
    Type: A
    Data: 185.81.99.111
  3. Name: example.com.
    Type: TXT
    Data: v=spf1 mx a ip4:79.137.24.248/32 ~all

Now I have moved my website on a new windows server B with ip 185.10.75.6185.10.75.6 but I want to keep the mail server still reamining on that linuxLinux server. On the new server I have set MXMX and A recordA records exactly as same as previous ones but for TXTTXT record I am confuesd whatconfused. What should I do? Which server is responsible to translate the TXT record? Should I add the TXT record on new server B or add a new TXT record on old server A to allow the new ipIP using that mail server?

Footnote: Mail.example.commail.example.com is now loading fine but when I try sending/receiving emails it seems that the new IP is now allowed to communicate with the linuxLinux mail server.
