Connect to your Wix dashboard

Connect to your Wix domains

Go to Domains in your Wix account, click the Domain Actions icon next to your domain, then click Manage DNS records.

If your domain is connected to Wix via pointing, you must manage your DNS records with your domain host (not Wix).

1. Set the MX records

Important: In Wix, the MX records for your main domain are set in a different place from the rest of your DNS records. Don't add them under Manage DNS records → Other MX records. That form is for sub-domains, and it will ask you for a Host Name.

Go back to Domains in your Wix account, click the Domain Actions icon (…) next to your domain, then click Connect an email purchased outside of Wix.

In the email provider dropdown, select Other.

Wix fills in the Host name with your domain for you, so you only need to fill in Points to. Enter the first record below, click + Add Another for the second one, and then click Save.

Type
Host Name
Points to
Priority
MX
Filled in by Wix
mx1.mailcast.io
10
MX
Filled in by Wix
mx2.mailcast.io
20

Only the order of the priorities matters: mx1.mailcast.io needs a lower number than mx2.mailcast.io. If Wix won't let you enter the exact priorities shown above, don't worry. Just make sure mx1 comes before mx2.

Once you've saved the MX records, go back to Manage DNS records to do the rest of the steps below.

2. Set the SPF record

Scroll to the TXT records section.

Look for a TXT record with a blank Host Name and Value that begins with v=spf1.

Update an existing SPF record

Hover your mouse over the record and click Edit the record. Update the value by adding include:spf.mailcast.io after the v=spf1 and before the rest of the record, separated with a space on either side.

Add a new SPF record

Click + Add Record under TXT records and fill in the following values:

Type
Host Name
Value
TXT
Leave blank
"v=spf1 include:spf.mailcast.io ~all"

3. Set the DKIM records

Scroll to the CNAME records section.

Click + Add Record and fill in the following values:

Type
Host Name
Points to
CNAME
mailcast._domainkey
dkim.mailcast.io

Click + Add Record again and fill in the following values:

Type
Host Name
Points to
CNAME
mailcast2._domainkey
dkim2.mailcast.io

4. Set the DMARC record

Scroll to the TXT records section.

Look for a TXT record with _dmarc as the Host Name.

If you already have a DMARC record, then there is no need to update it.

This is a minimal DMARC record that will suggest that unauthorised emails sent from your domain are marked as spam. Learn more about DMARC to help you decide how to configure your DMARC policy.

Click + Add Record and fill in the following values:

Type
Host Name
Value
TXT
_dmarc
"v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;"

5. Validate your DNS updates

Click on the DNS tab for your domain from within Mailcast Domains and click Validate to check if your DNS updates are correct.
