When I issue a DiG command to verify my MX records, I get the following output:
$ dig example.com MX
; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu <<>> example.com MX
;; global options: +cmd

However, when I click "Check DNS Records Now" on Mailgun, it verifies the changes to the TXT and CNAME records but says that my MX records have not been changed.
Type | Priority | Enter This Value | Current Value
-----+----------+------------------+--------------------
MX   | 10       | mxa.mailgun.org  | 10 mail.example.com
MX   | 10       | mxb.mailgun.org  | 10 mail.example.com
I updated these records three to fours ago. I know it said to wait up to twenty-four to forty-eight hours. But I feel that if it detected the other DNS changes, then it should detect the MX record changes. Am I being impatient or is this a legitimate concern? What do you suggest I do?
Note: I'd create a Mailgun tag for this; I feel that it'd be appropriate, but I don't have enough reputation to do so.
