Action: Lower TTL value to reduce email delays Before performing a DNS change, it is common practice to lower the TTL from its regular value. This defines how long clients and caching DNS servers store the MX record until it asks the DNS server for the MX record again. To ensure DNS servers refresh the MX record quickly, it's common to drop the TTL to a value such as 5 minutes.  After data migration is complete, switch the value back to 1 hour.
