QServers

Step by step: add the Notix DKIM, SPF, MX and DMARC records for a domain whose DNS is at QServers.

Use this guide if your domain's nameservers end in qservers.net. With a hosting plan the records go in cPanel. With a domain only, they go in the Global DNS Zone Editor in your QServers client area.

Open your domain in Domains first and keep the page open. You copy every name and value from its DNS records table.

The records to add

Type	Name	Value	Priority
TXT	`notix._domainkey`	`p=...` (copy the whole key)	none
TXT	`mail`	`v=spf1 include:_spf.usenotix.dev ~all`	none
MX	`mail`	`feedback-smtp.<region>.amazonses.com`	`10`
TXT	`_dmarc`	`v=DMARC1; p=none;`	none

These names are for a domain added as acme.com. Notix shows each name in the short form, without your main domain on the end, so copy it from your domain page as it is. If you added a subdomain such as news.acme.com, the names read mail.news and notix._domainkey.news; _dmarc stays the same. The DKIM name and key are different for every domain. The MX value names the region your domain sends from, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com, so copy it from your domain page too.

Add them at QServers

Open the DNS screen
With hosting: log in to cPanel and open the Zone Editor.
Domain only: log in to your QServers client area and open the Global DNS Zone Editor. QServers does not describe the menu path to it, so look under your domain's management options.
Add each TXT record
Add a new record of type TXT. Enter the name from the table, for example _dmarc, paste the value, and save. Repeat for the DKIM, SPF and DMARC records.
Add the MX record
Add a new record of type MX. Enter mail as the name, 10 as the priority and the MX value, for example feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com, as the destination, and save. Do not use cPanel's MX Entry screen for this: it changes the mail routing of a whole domain.

Things to know at QServers

cPanel's Zone Editor may show the name in full with a dot at the end, such as mail.acme.com.. If it asks for the full name, enter mail.acme.com. for a domain acme.com, and the same for the other names. After saving, check no name ends in your domain twice.
QServers' pages give no field names for TXT records and do not say whether the domain is added to the name for you. Check the full name shown after you save.

SPF and DMARC: check before you add

SPF. A name can have only one SPF record. Notix puts its SPF on mail, not on your main domain, so it never clashes with the SPF your main domain may already have for your mailbox provider. Leave that one as it is. If mail itself already has a TXT record that starts with v=spf1, do not add a second one: edit it to include include:_spf.usenotix.dev.
DMARC. A domain can have only one DMARC record. If _dmarc already has a record that starts with v=DMARC1, keep it and skip the Notix one. Notix accepts the record you have. Two DMARC records cancel each other out, and mailbox providers then ignore both.
MX on `mail`. The MX record only takes bounce and complaint reports back to Notix. It does not touch the MX records on your main domain, so your normal inbox keeps working.

After you save

QServers says DNS changes can take as long as 48 hours to spread. Most records show in Notix within about 10 minutes.

You do not need to watch the page. Notix checks your records again on its own, and the domain turns Verified when the required records are found. To check straight away, open the domain in Domains and press Verify again. If a record is found at the wrong name, for example mail.acme.com.acme.com, the domain page says what to fix.

The records you add stay at your DNS host. Do not delete them later: Notix keeps checking them while you send.

QServers' help pages only partly cover adding records, so parts of the steps above are general. These are the QServers pages we checked on 21 October 2026. If a label on your screen is different, follow your panel, or contact QServers support.
