That totally depends on the TTL of the DNS records and the hosts that honor that. If you haven't changed your TTL, you have to wait until it times out and the other servers on the internet refresh it. Al -----Original Message----- From: Stephen F.

The first week I converted our out Microsoft mail system to Exchange and this week I got the internet portion setup including changing our MX record so that we are hosting our own mail. The MX record was changed on Tuesday. We are getting some email but not nearly as much as before. If I send to my email address from a yahoo account I get it right away. If I send from a hotmail account I never see it. I was thinking this was just DNS taking a while to propagate out but 3 days seems a bit long. About how long does it take before records should propagate fully?
