Velocity MTA must be restarted for changes to take effect.
MX records are idiosyncratic
You must first create a DNS A record that points to your Velocity MTA IP address, then create an MX record that specifies that A record will be the MX record for your sending domain or subdomain.
Using Cloudflare as our example DNS hosting provider, our A record named "MX" will be the MX record for the sending subdomain sendmail.vitamindispatch.com.

Using the terminal command dig we can verify our MX record is active and pointing to the right place.
dig sendmail.vitamindispatch.com MX @1.1.1.1
