How to Add a DMARC Record in Wix

If your domain was bought through Wix or is connected via Wix's DNS, you can add a DMARC record directly from the Wix dashboard. This guide walks through every step so your domain is protected from email spoofing.

Why You Need DMARC

Without DMARC, mail servers have no instructions about how to handle email that fails SPF or DKIM, so attackers can impersonate your domain at will. DMARC blocks those messages and provides aggregate reports listing every service sending mail in your name.

Use the DMARC checker further down this page to confirm whether your domain already has a record before adding one.

Prerequisites

• A Wix account with the domain connected
• SPF and DKIM already configured (recommended)
• A mailbox for receiving aggregate reports

Step 1: Open the Domain DNS Settings

1. Log in to your Wix account
2. Click Domains in the dashboard
3. Click the three-dot menu next to your domain
4. Choose Manage DNS Records

You will see the list of current DNS records.

Step 2: Add the DMARC TXT Record

1. Scroll to the TXT (Text) section
2. Click + Add Record
3. Fill in the fields

Important notes:

• Enter only _dmarc in the Host name field; Wix appends your domain
• No quotes around the value
• Use a real mailbox in the rua tag

Click Save

Click Save to publish the record.

Step 3: Verify the Record

Example DMARC Records

Monitoring Only (Start Here)

v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:[email protected]

Quarantine Policy

v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:[email protected]

Reject Policy

v=DMARC1; p=reject; rua=mailto:[email protected]

Editing an Existing Record

1. Find the _dmarc row in the TXT section
2. Click Edit
3. Update the value
4. Click Save

Common Mistakes

Using a Connected (Pointing) Domain

If your domain is "connected" to Wix using nameserver pointing only and DNS lives elsewhere, the Wix DNS panel may not be authoritative. Manage DNS at the actual provider.

Entering the Full Domain Name

Only _dmarc belongs in the Host name field. Wix automatically appends your domain.

Multiple DMARC Records

Two _dmarc records cause DMARC to be ignored. Delete duplicates.

Wrong rua Format

The rua value must start with mailto:. A bare email address is not valid.

What To Do After Publishing

p=none only observes. To actually block spoofing:

1. Collect reports for 2-4 weeks
2. Fix any legitimate senders failing SPF or DKIM alignment
3. Move to p=quarantine
4. Advance to p=reject

The DMARC enforcement guide covers the full rollout.

Complete Checklist

• [ ] Opened Wix DNS records
• [ ] Added a TXT record with host name _dmarc
• [ ] Used a valid mailto: rua address
• [ ] Saved the record
• [ ] Verified with the DMARC checker

Monitor Your DMARC Records

Checking once is good. Monitoring continuously is better. The Email Deliverability Suite watches your SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records daily and alerts you when something breaks.
