    I have 2 mx entry hostname remote.example.com(80.248.x.xxx) and example.com(50.63.xx.xxx). I have deleted remote.example.com but when I do an mx lookup I still see remote.example.com. I do not want my email resolving to this anymore. I have changed this on mx entry and set example as 0 priority but still get this issue.
    also if I do a dns lookup I get "There is a problem. We were not able to find a Start of Authority (SOA) record which may indicate a DNS problem"
    how do I resolve.

    Sometimes it can happen due to dns cache. Wait for some time and see if you are able to see correct MX lookups.

    Most probably it would be DNS cache issue and it will get cleared within a couple of days. Meanwhile make sure that the MX records are updated in your name servers as well. You can check it by using the below command

    # dig -t MX @ns.domain.com domain.com +short

    If it too fails to return the expected result, check the DNS zone file and confirm that the SOA serial number has a higher value than the cached one. If the modification was done through a cPanel, the value gets increased automatically.

    Hello,

    As mentioned, it's likely a case of DNS cache, however you can use a tool such as IntoDNS.com to verify your domain name uses name servers associated with the cPanel server you made the DNS changes on.

    Thank you.
