For essential outgoing and incoming email functionality with your MailWish Business Email Hosting, these steps are a must to set setup in your domains.
Let’s get started:

Please ensure that only Mailwish records exist; remove any other MX/SPF records, as having additional records may disrupt sending and receiving functionality.

How do I set up the DNS records?

Step 1: Log into your DNS provider and access your domain.

Step 2: Add the following records to your domain:

SPF Record (For Outgoing Emails):

• • Type: TXT
  • Hostname: @
  • Value: v=spf1 include:mailwish.com ~all
  • TTL: 300 or the minimum possible

MX Records (For Receiving Emails):

• • Type: MX
  • Hostname: @
  • Point: lucy.mailwish.com  or if your server is Jill  jill.mailwish.com
  • Priority: 10
  • TTL: 300 or the minimum possible

• • Type: MX
  • Hostname: @
  • Point: lucy-relay.mailwish.com  or if your server is Jill  jill-relay.mailwish.com
  • Priority: 20
  • TTL: 300 or the minimum possible

Optional but Recommended: Protect Your Business from Spoofing To safeguard your business and enhance security, consider adding a DMARC record. Create a new TXT record with the following value:

• • Type: TXT
  • Hostname: @ or your domain name
  • Value: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarcreports@[replace-with-your-domain].com

Make sure to replace “Yourdomain.com” with your actual domain.
To ensure the validity and visibility of these records, we recommend using this online tool: MX Toolbox.
