Re: SBS 2003 R2 MX and A records



Yes, you need to get MX and A records created by the new ISP. However, even
after creating, it could take a 24-72 hours (or more) for the new records to
propagate to all the DNS nameservers out there before mail starts flowing
properly again. And any mail sent to them in this interim period will most
likely be lost (this sender may get an NDR).

Presumably, the client's domain name is still registered with some domain
registrar.

Hi all,

SBS 2003 R2/single nic/ Exchange using SMTP / static IP from ISP

A new client just called and she stated that they are moving to a new
webhosting company so she cancelled their long time hosting company and
now cannot get mail or use RWW. She stated that the old hosting company
was hosting their MX and A records.

Why she suddenly cnxed the old hosting is beyond me. Can I just call up
their ISP Brighthouse Networks to recreate the MX and A records?

She does not have access to the new hosting companies client website
control panel.

Thanks,

Frank
