Hmm, yeah I’m not seeing the DNS settings propagated from my end either, so I’d guess there’s something else you might need to do with your host to make sure they go out. Maybe there’s a “Save” button or something that needs to be clicked to fully apply the settings? You might also try setting a shorter TTL (e.g. 300 or 600) so the changes go live quicker.
As for the email issues, let me get back to you on that – might need to fix something on our end.
