Hoping you can help, I'll preface to say that I'm working for a small company and I'm the "IT Guy" as I'm not sure what to ask google, and I've searched here for hours, and still no closer to an answer, so I'm looking for help as I'm a bit out of my depth.
Long story short, I've migrated server for the website to a new server. As we have multiple users not all based in the same location and none are computer literate, it was decided that we would keep the old server for email for now until we can come up with a good solution to get them all onto the new one.
I changed the DNS and set the records on my new server as follows:
MX mydomain.com mail.mydomain.com 10 14400
A mail.mydomain.com xx.xx.xx.xx (Original IP) 14400
A mydomain.com xx.xx.xx.xx (New IP) 3600
I made no changes to the old server, and now I can send emails out, but now can no longer receive them getting the following error:
The mail system <useraddress@mydomain.com>: connect to mail.mydomain.com[xx.xx.xx.xx]:25: (NEW IP)
Operation timed out
I am at my wits end how to solve this. One thing I noticed is that the bouncebacks get the New IP rather than the old one, so this makes me think I've messed something up on setup.
Hoping someone can help me figure out what it should be. Please let me know if you need additional information.
Cheers

It smells like someone put the wrong IP address in the wrong record. Check your actual DNS records. If you don't find the problem, show your real domain name. It is probably not possible to answer this without it.
