Validation of external domain (for email) failing

I am trying to set up an email alias on my own email. I have configured the DNS records at my registrar and everything looks OK. I confirmed the record is set up using dig:

$ dig -t TXT -q <mailboxprovidedstring>.example.com

which gives (among other things):

;; ANSWER SECTION:

<mailboxprovidedstring>.example.com. 600 IN TXT "<mailboxprovidedkey>"

However, mailbox.org claims that it cannot validate the key. What could be the reason?

After waiting a few hours, the problem was gone. I'd guess it was a matter of waiting for the DNS records to propagate.
