mx record
Hi
my mx record are:
hayeshigginskk.com MX preference = 15, mail exchanger = mail.hayeshigginskk.com
hayeshigginskk.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail1.eircom.net
here the eircom.net is the priority,and eircom.net is my isp..
when i spoke to mdaemon (mail server) technician about some problem like the email is very slow to get when i send no problem but to receive email it takes 10 to more minutes,also some of the emails are rejected..then he suggest to change my priority to MX preference = 15, mail exchanger = mail.hayeshigginskk.com like this i will have my emails fine..my question is:
if i do this how long will take to be actif?
can i have problem if i change it ?
thank you

Hey,
Everyone that sends mail to your domain will perform a lookup on the MX Record. Then the requesting server will remember the MX Record for as long as the TTL (Time To Live) value states.
In your case the TTL is 1 Day, meaning it will take anything up to a day for everyone to realise your MX Record has changed.
If you change it back it will take another Day to become effective.
You can reduce this by lowering the TTL value for your MX Record if the DNS administrator allows you to do so.
