Step by step in Wix

Verify your domain

Your email provider needs proof that you control this domain before it accepts email for it.

Type
TXT
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Value
Copy it from iCloud+ Custom Email Domain (see below)

Where to find your value

Go to icloud.com/icloudplus, select Custom Email Domain, then Add a domain you own. In step 3, select View to see your personal TXT record.

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row.
  2. Leave Host Name blank for your bare domain, enter the Value and a TTL.
  3. Select Save.

Point your MX records

MX records tell every other mail server where to deliver email for your domain. They must point to your provider and nowhere else.

Type
MX
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Priority
10
Points to
mx01.mail.icloud.com
  • Apple's page writes these with a trailing period (mx01.mail.icloud.com.). Use whichever form your DNS host expects.
Type
MX
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Priority
10
Points to
mx02.mail.icloud.com

In Wix

  1. Under MX (Mail exchange), select connect a business email.
  2. Choose Other from the drop-down list, then + Add record.
  3. Enter the mail server in Points to and the Priority. Host Name fills in automatically.
  4. Delete any other MX records listed, then select Save.
  5. Repeat for each MX record above.

Add the SPF record

SPF is a TXT record that lists the services allowed to send email from your domain, so receivers can spot forgeries.

Type
TXT
Host Name
Leave this field empty
Value
v=spf1 include:icloud.com ~all

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row.
  2. Leave Host Name blank for your bare domain, enter the Value and a TTL.
  3. Select Save.

Set up DKIM

DKIM publishes a public key so receivers can confirm your messages really came from you and were not changed on the way.

Type
CNAME
Host Name
sig1._domainkey
Value
sig1.dkim.yourdomain.com.at.icloudmailadmin.com

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the CNAME (Aliases) row.
  2. Enter the Host Name and the Value.
  3. Select Save.

Add the DMARC record (recommended)

DMARC tells receivers what to do with mail that fails SPF and DKIM, and where to send reports about it.

Type
TXT
Host Name
_dmarc
Value
v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com
  • Apple's setup page doesn't list a DMARC record. This is the standard starting record (p=none asks receivers for no action); replace the report address with one you read.

In Wix

  1. Select + Add Record in the TXT (Text) row.
  2. Leave Host Name blank for your bare domain, enter the Value and a TTL.
  3. Select Save.

Check your setup

Once the records are saved, run a live check. We look up your domain in public DNS and tell you what is right, missing or wrong, with the fix in Wix’s words.

We only read public DNS records. Nothing is stored.

Common mistakes with iCloud+ Custom Email Domain on Wix

Leaving example.com in the DKIM target

Apple's example target is sig1.dkim.example.com.at.icloudmailadmin.com. Replace example.com with your own domain.

Wix: Add SPF in the TXT row

Wix's DNS editor has a separate SPF row. Microsoft's Wix guide says to ignore it and add the SPF value in the TXT (Text) row instead.

iCloud+ Custom Email Domain on Wix: questions

Where do I add iCloud+ Custom Email Domain DNS records in Wix?

Sign in to Wix and select Domains in the left menu. Find your domain, select the three dots (...), then Manage DNS Records. Add each record there, one at a time.

What goes in the Host Name field at Wix?

Leave it empty for records on your bare domain, such as MX and SPF. For the others, enter only the part before your domain, for example sig1._domainkey. Wix adds your domain automatically.

Do I need to delete my existing MX records at Wix?

Yes. Mail servers deliver to every MX record you publish, so keep only the iCloud+ Custom Email Domain MX records and delete the rest.

Where do I get my iCloud+ Custom Email Domain DKIM record?

iCloud+ Custom Email Domain DKIM records are CNAME records whose value includes your domain, for example sig1.dkim.yourdomain.com.at.icloudmailadmin.com. Copy the exact values for your domain from the table on this page.
