At most, for the life of a single process during a queue run.

If that is due to MX caching, then the caching is being done by your
DNS nameserver.  Check '/etc/resolv.conf', then check each of the
nameservers listed

	dig @ip-of-nameserver mydomain.com mx 

Also make sure that you are not using a mailertable or other
special configuration to bypass the MX record.
