Comment on Google Apps Services Were Downparent

Comments

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
