After you change your domain’s MX records and wait for the (Time to Live) TTL to expire, log in to the Administration Console to perform this test and confirm that the new MX records have been propagated.
WARNING: Don’t proceed unless you’ve changed your MX records and waited for your TTL to expire, or this test might fail. (The default TTL setting varies for each domain registrar. For more information about TTL and MX records, see Frequently Asked Questions: Test Your MX Records and FAQ: How MX Records Work, or watch the video Understanding and Working with MX Records.)

At the top of the Administration Console home page, open the Choose Org list and select the third org (short for organization)—the one that has “Users” in its name.”

Be sure that “Your_Account Users” is named at the top of the page.
Wait a few moments, then view the results of the test at the bottom of the page. For example, if your domain is acme.com, successful results look like this.
acme.com: MX records OK.
acme.com IN MX 1 acme.com.s7a1.psmtp.com.
acme.com IN MX 2 acme.com.s7a2.psmtp.com.
acme.com IN MX 3 acme.com.s7b1.psmtp.com.
acme.com IN MX 4 acme.com.s7b2.psmtp.com.
If you do not receive the test email and the test does not succeed, please see Frequently Asked Questions: Test Your MX Records.
