[HECnet] All gone silent

[Johnny Billquist]

And the reason for that is probably protonmail...

 From my mail server:

GW:/home/bqt> host -t mx protonmail.com
protonmail.com mail is handled by 5 mail.protonmail.ch.
protonmail.com mail is handled by 10 mailsec.protonmail.ch.
GW:/home/bqt> host -t mx  mail.protonmail.ch
Host mail.protonmail.ch not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
GW:/home/bqt> host mail.protonmail.ch
Host mail.protonmail.ch not found: 5(REFUSED)
GW:/home/bqt>

 From Update:

Psilocybe:bqt/krille> host -t mx protonmail.com
protonmail.com mail is handled by 5 mail.protonmail.ch.
protonmail.com mail is handled by 10 mailsec.protonmail.ch.
Psilocybe:bqt/krille> host -t mx mail.protonmail.ch
mail.protonmail.ch has no MX record
Psilocybe:bqt/krille> host mail.protonmail.ch
mail.protonmail.ch has address 185.70.41.101
Psilocybe:bqt/krille>

Protonmail is blocking me from even resolving their names...
