does MTA-SMS validator present cached results #11

Hi

MTA-SMS validator is a great service.

I have just implementated an improvement in the configuration of a server, but MTA-SMS validator still suggests the same improvement.

The reason may be that MTA-SMS validator still presents the result from before I made the improvement. That would be perfectly ok if

the test result gave an indication on when it was established
the test result gave an indication on how to get an updated result (e.g. wait for an hour or a day, or hit this and that button)

The MTA-STS validator itself does not cache any results. However, DNS servers may cache lookups, so that is why you may be seeing stale results.

I hope that answers your question, if not please reply and I'll reopen.
