Full DNS propagation may take 24 to 48 hours globally. It may take time for TMEMS DNS servers to recognize changes to your MX records.

Lower the value of your DNS TTL (time to live) to allow other DNS servers around the world to recognize the changes you have done at a shorter time.

Shorter TTLs can cause heavier loads on an authoritative Name Server, but can be useful when changing the address of critical services like web servers or MX records. This is why TTLs are often lowered by the DNS administrator before moving a service in order to minimize disruptions.
