digitalpbk$ nslookup smtp.google.com Server: 8.8.8.8 Address: 8.8.8.8#53

server can't find smtp.google.com: NXDOMAIN

SMTP servers are down for me. Anyone else?




NXDOMAIN wouldn't be server down, that's no DNS record. Still won't work, but different (much bigger) issue.


I'm pretty sure the 'bigger' issue here is that it's smtp.gmail.com - smtp.google.com is, I believe, always down on account of not existing. :P


Works fine for me:

    > dig +short @8.8.8.8 smtp.gmail.com
    gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
    74.125.136.108
    74.125.136.109

Or: smtp.googlemail.com


try `nslookup -querytype=MX google.com`
