Domain stuck in “Prove ownership of this domain”

Yesterday I went to domains.live.com and added a domain there to be managed.

 

I updated the MX entry in the DNS to match the data displayed.  Within a few minutes it had updated in that a third party check site could see the DNS entries and they match what the system tell me to do.

 

Live.com requests I set this:

 

  • DNS record type: MX
  • Host: <mydomain>.com
  • MX server: <myid>.pamx1.hotmail.com
  • TTL: 3600 or 1 hour
  • Priority: 10 (or High priority)

     

     

    Third party MX record check site shows this:

     

    Priority: 20

    MX Host: <myid>.pamx1.hotmail.com

    TTL: 24 hrs

     

    <myid> is 100% correct.

     

    So... why does it not validate in the domains website?  I left it a day in case the Microsoft system was not rechecking the DNS servers directly but instead might be using cached DNS data.

     

    Thanks
