Say you have your own email server stationed at your place of business. And say you have a remote website with a domain name that is set up so that the MX records point to that email server. Then, for whatever reason, your local internet provider changes your email server's IP address, and so there is a few hours where the MX record is not updated on the web server. What happens to the emails that were sent to you in that time period? Are they lost, or will you get them eventually?
