DNS RR changes are propagated according to their TTL (Time-To-Live) settings. You'll need to contact your DNS hoster or run a report (DNSREPORTS.com) to find out how long the TTL is set for on your record(s).

Changing the MX record only effects how other e-mail servers on the Internet locate the e-mail server that is designated to receive e-mail for your domain.

We are looking to setup a SPAM filtering service that needs us to redirect our MX record to their server - but I am confused about what that will do to our OWA - because part of the current MX record is the URL for the OWA? Does this question make sense? I want to make sure I know what is coming when I change the MX record.
