Although switching off DNSSEC validation will keep the mail flowing, it only 
kludges around the underlying problem. Which might or might not be related to 
the rollover of the root KSK a few hours ago. It’s hard to tell from the 
information you’ve provided. That said, you do appear to have a DNS server 
misconfiguration which is causing DNSSEC validation to fail. Clearly it would 
be wise to fix that before turning DNSSEC validation on again.

The switch to the new KSK seems the most likely cause, assuming DNSSEC 
validation always worked for you before then.

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on what is broken in your DNSSEC setup. If you’ve 
hard-wired the now dead root KSK, waiting a while won’t help. That key will 
still be dead when you re-enable DNSSEC validation. No matter how long or short 
you wait.

Consult ICANN’s web pages on the root KSK rollover. They have info on how to 
check that DNS configurations handle the KSK rollover properly and how to 
troubleshoot them when they don’t.
