You can hardly expect an ISP to change an MX record on the opinion
(right or wrong) of a third party. It could be someone trying a little
social engineering. The customer or ISP could be in the middle of some
DNS changes. It could be someone talking out of their backside. This
kind of request for change needs to come through the proper channels
from the customer or their nominated point of contact.
