Re: error with MX Record

There was an option that said "Change the UK2 DNS records to UK2 defaults

Should this hopefully start my email again and will any emails that have
been sent to me over the course of the day just be bounced back to the
sender as failed?

Not normally, there is generally a retry timeout that continues for around 7 days (it's configurable by the sysadmin in most mail systems, but I'd say 7-10 days is very typical).

During this time it will keep trying to send your email (it may send warnings back during that time saying unable to be sent, but not failures).

After X (7) days it will give up and return the failure.

Of course there may be crappy mail admins that decide to bounce failed messages immediately, but there shouldn't be too many in the world that are that foolish!
