Where does an mx record reside?
I have just changed name servers using my current registrar to my new hosting company.
The status says that its validating the mx records on the new hosting company.
Where should the mx record reside, is it up to the hosting company to create the mx record or is that done by the registrar?
THE DNS SERVERS are pointing to the NEW HOST already.
PLease help this is urgent!!

Do an mx record lookup on your domain and it will tell you where they are currently located.
But whoever is hosting your name-server, that is who you need to talk to about the fixing any MX record problems.

It useally takes up to 72 hours for your new mx records to populate through the internet.

I am posting a follow up question.
Name Servers are generally part of the Hosting Companies setup. Registrars just provide directions to those.
Assuming the registrar is directing any requests for your domain to the hosting company then they (the hosting company) will be the ones that need to add the MX.
