If we use mxtoolbox.com to test our config, one moment an MX record check of the domain concerned shows the correct entry. Refresh in mxtoolbox.com and it shows an old record from two days ago. When logged into digitalocean the MX record shows the correct entry. It is almost as if the settings in digitalocean as visible when logged in aren’t properly published to the actual name servers ns1 ns2 and ns3. Anyone else has this issue? How can we check on this?

it’s for pendukasafaris.com Just tested again. three times a refresh with a minute inbetween and it shows the correct settings. A forth refresh in mxtoolbox and it shows the old settings again. A few more subsequent ones also show the old record settings.
Hello, @tomafrica
Keep in mind that DNS changes might take up to 24 hours in order to fully update due to DNS cache and general DNS propagation time.
You can use our DNS check tool to see if you get the correct DNS records.
