What is so obvious about it not being down?   If folks like AT&T and
other major corporations could have outages I don't see any reason why
this one couldn't.

 

Note that you typed "rimm.com" (two m's) not "rim.com".   The former has
a red WOT rating so I suspect it is used to spoof the latter but I'll
never know since I don't intend to go there.

 

Nslookup is deprecated in favor of dig.   "dig -t MX rimm.com" shows
that in fact rimm.com is NOT returning an MX record.

Obviously Rimm's DNS cannot be down! What gives? Any ideas?
