Once you have created and configured all your MailWire accounts and are ready to begin using MailWire to send/receive your emails, you will need to set up the following DNS records to use with MailWire. This would need to be done with your DNS provider, which in most cases is your Domain Registrar (whom you have purchased your domain through).
We know that for those of you that are less experienced at managing DNS records that this information can seem very overwhelming and daunting. If you aren't very familiar with this and need our help, please do not hesitate to contact our support.
We will be happy to help set these up and test it to ensure everything is working properly.
SPF Record
A SPF Record is a DNS record that identifies which mail servers are permitted to send email on your behalf.
Records Type: TXT
v=spf1 include:spf.mxprotection.net ~all
Autodiscover Record
Record Type: SRV
Service: _autodiscover
Protocol: _tcp
Priority: 0
Weight: 0
Port: 443
Target (Hostname): cloud1.mailwire.com
DKIM Record
Record Type: TXT
1. Log into MailWire WebMail as the Domain Administrator.
2. Click the Domain Settings icon.
3. Click on "General" in the navigation pane.
4. You will find the option Email Signing. Click on the Enable button. This will generate the DKIM Record.
5. Copy the "Text Record Name" and "Text Record Value".
6. Set up the TXT Record in DNS using this name and value.
MX Record
Add the below MX Records for your domain so email is delivered to MailWire. When you change your domain's MX records, all new emails for your domain will now be delivered to MailWire.
Record Type: MX
cloud1.mailwire.com - Priority 0
DMARC Record
Add the below DMAR Record if the SPF and DKIM records are valid. Never add a strict DMARC policy (like reject/quarantine) if SPF and DKIM aren’t working correctly.
Record Type: TXT
Name: _dmarc
Target: v=DMARC1; rua=mailto:; p=none
The above record doesn’t enforce anything, and simply signals that a DMARC record exists — which some consider better than having no DMARC at all.
TTL
Set this value to 1 hour, 60 minutes, or 3600 seconds
