greenbriel Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 I moved a couple of domains over to TCH from my old host yesterday, and it looks like the mail is going to BOTH mail server. That is, the mail comes in whether I set my POP3 server to newdomainonTCH.net, or myoldhost.net. Is it just a matter of time until mail stop going to the old host (MX records, right? do they take longer to propogate) than DNS? Thx for any insight, -Gabe Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 (edited) Propgation can take up to 72 hours. Sometimes longer. Edited May 13, 2004 by TCH-Bruce Quote
greenbriel Posted May 13, 2004 Author Posted May 13, 2004 Man you guys are quick! Dizzying! So it's normal for the mail to be able to be picked up from two POP servers at the same time? Thx, -G Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 13, 2004 Posted May 13, 2004 (edited) Yes, when I transferred my domain here I was getting email at the old host and here for about a week. Then the old host quit getting any more. I created an additional POP3 account in my email program and used the IP numbers for the mail servers until it settled down.
