Ask HN: Is there a Gmail DNS resolver outage happening?
I got pinged on WhatsApp, that they can't send me emails - this is to my own server that has been happily ticking for quite a while. Tested sending from outlook and gmail - outlook worked, gmail failed with:
DNS Error: DNS type 'mx' lookup of [domain] responded with code NXDOMAIN Domain name not found: [domain] Learn more at https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadRcptDomain
Anyone seen this before or experiencing it currently?
- LinuxBender 4y agoThis this close to what you are seeing? dig +short -t mx gmail.com | sort -n 5 gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. 10 alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. 20 alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. 30 alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com. 40 alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com.

- LinuxBender 4y agoAh, apologies I misunderstood. Outbound email from gmail appears to work for me. Perhaps google's servers are having trouble reaching the domain you are sending to or maybe a specific cluster you are connecting to are having an issue. Does your domain look ok in the EDNS tester [1] and in the delegation tester? [2] Refresh the delegation tester a couple times as their timeout is really short. Edit: I forgot to add the MX toolbox [3] [1] - https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp?zone= https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp?zone= [2] - https://www.whatsmydns.net/ https://www.whatsmydns.net/ [3] - https://mxtoolbox.com/ https://mxtoolbox.com/
- proactivesvcs 4y agoI've had some clients contact me because they can't email GMail accounts. They're getting bounces claiming DKIM failures when DKIM is working fine; could be related.
