Harpert:
From another computer connected to the internet, i.e. your home computer,
get to a command prompt.
type: nslookup type=MX mydomain.com
or
nslookup q=MX mydomain.com
This should show you what ip address your email is going to. When I changed
ISP, it took from Friday afternoon to sometime Tuesday for the nslookup to
correctly display the IP address. They were not kidding when they said 72
hours for the change in Name Servers, and MX records to take effect. Email
resumed about noon on Tuesday.
