Google Apps Services Were Down

Re:Google Apps Services Were Down by digitalpbk on Wednesday April 17, 2013 @09:42AM (#5564401)

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
