[BlueOnyx:13926] revisited: mx server ip address change killing incoming email

I have asked this question before and always end up putting the ip address
back to the original, because of mail failure.
I have 2 static ip addresses assigned to a server.
In the dns setup I have both A and reverse for:
ns.domain.com and ns2.domain.com
For each domain on the box, I have A and MX settings:
mail . doamin.com Forward xx.xxx.xxx.51
www . domain.com Forward xx.xxx.xxx.51
domain.com.com Forward xx.xxx.xxx.51
doamin.com Mail Highest mail.doamin.com
all mail, web, etc. work fine.
In the past I have always used the xx.xxx.xxx.51 for mail. I want to move
mail traffic to xx.xxx.xxx.52, which is now what I have done, again, as of
yesterday.
So now my setup is:
mail . doamin.com Forward xx.xxx.xxx.52
www . domain.com Forward xx.xxx.xxx.51
domain.com.com Forward xx.xxx.xxx.51
doamin.com Mail Highest mail.doamin.com
Since this change, no email is being received. I watched the maillog and it
only shows users checking and sending mail. There is no outside inbound
mail traffic. I checked the mail servers ip using mxtoolbox and it shows
mail server for each domain on xx.xxx.xxx.52.
What am I missing here? As soon as I switch back to xx.xxx.xxx.51, all mail
flows correctly. Could it be that I'm just not waiting long enough for
propagation to finish?
Thanks
Tom
