Re: Setting up hosted accounts in exchange 2003

Hi

It looks like the MX record for the domain you are hosting is not setup, or
the entry was only recently created and needs more time to propagate to
other DNS servers, this could take up to 72 hours.

Who hosts the MX records for the domain you are hosting? Has anyone
submitted a request to create an MX record for the domain you are hosting.

Hope this information helps

Regards
