That's good.  I hope all the other DNS servers have already updated our
MX records too.  As a temporary solution, I did a NAT using iptables
from our www server to forward port 25 connections to its rightful host.

I also requested our DNS host to just point ceruleansoftware.com to the
mail server, just in case.

There's a lesson learned:  that full propagation of DNS records take
more than 203 days to complete.

Thanks a lot!
