That seems like a really good way to go about doing this. I was fortunate in that I didn't seem to lose any important e-mails (that or they got so angry they don't speak to me anymore). However, in a business setting, I can see that being a huge problem. I didn't see a lot of rhyme or reason to the priority setting values or how they related to one another. Then again, I didn't really look into it much. Thanks for the tip on using a different priority setting for old e-mail servers during the transfer.

I've seen DNS changes go almost instantaneously, though those were hosted with Network Solutions. Godaddy's pretty fast, too. anyway, during MX record updates, it's good to keep your old ones set, though with differing priorities, just something higher. 20 usually does it, and you keep both mail systems running temporarily. typically, business changes like this are made over a weekend or holiday. in 48-72 hours, you should be able to remove the old MX records as the new system should be receiving all the new mail. keeping both mail server systems up until the MX record updates propagate helps prevent bounce messages, again, more important in business environments than for personal stuff. just a little extra info for you there MX record changes (mail) can take quite some time, so yours wasn’t really a fluke.
