Just remember the DNS records have TTLs associated for them and it may
take a while (on the order of a day) for cached records to expire.
Even for planned changes where you can lower the TTLs, some ISPs don't
honor the TTLs and will cache them for on the order of a day anyway.

Hi,
Is there perhpas a misconfigured mx-entry in your dns-entry?
Also, check /var/log/maillog, if you find mails you haven't potentialle
received.
Perhaps, mails are still in mailq?
Or, do you have a spamfilter that does to much work? ;)

Hello Roger
OK. Now this situation is kind of strange. After I sent my initial message
on this subject to the list, I tried something that should NOT have worked: I
removed: I removed "smtp.comcast.net" from being a smarthost. Ran the
required "make" command in the "/etc/mail" directory. Restarted
"sendmail"
The result is, that after running all night, KMail shows 29 messages from this
list in BOTH my
gmail.com and my
afolkey2.net accounts! Now after I attempt
to send this message, I will really find out if this will work perfectly or
not, because a LONG time ago I had to define "smtp.comcast.net" as smarthost,
or I could not even send email from my
afolkey2.net account. For now, anyway,
the problem I initially brought to this list is resolved :) So, we'll see...
Thank You,
Steven P. Ulrick
