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.
