Hey there.
I just migrated one of my domains from a different host. I changed the DNS settings at godaddy and it was pointing to the new site within an hour. I was blown away since I have never had a quick propogation before. Regardless, everything seemed to be working. Then I realized people are still sending emails to addresses that I haven't set up yet and I'm receiving them. I also created an email address on dathorn that doesn't exist on the old host and it won't go through.
So, what appears to be happening is that the DNS propogated fine and the website is serving from dathorn, like it should. BUT, emails are still getting routed to the old server.
Does this seem strange to anyone?
Do smtp and http servers sync DNS separately? And at different times? I'm a little confused.
Thanks!
Mike
