yes this is expected bots may late with dns changes, or ignore it and pull simply to known ip adresses if you use a antispam relay before exchange you should manage exchange only accept mail from the relay an deliver out only trough the relay, you may chnage A entry hostname and ip for the exchange too, there are lots of faqs out using i.e postfix as relay for exchange out in the web, read it -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria
