Subject: Re: [mailop] themofisher.com with pphosted.com MX entries that don’t 
resolve (NXDOMAIN)

I'm seeing a lot of DNS resolution issues on pphosted domains in general in the

Also seems like a bunch of cusotmers are complaining they can't access 
Proofpoint at all https://statusgator.com/services/proofpoint

$ dig +short thermofisher.com<http://thermofisher.com> MX
10 ppmxb.thermofisher.com<http://ppmxb.thermofisher.com>.
10 ppmxa.thermofisher.com<http://ppmxa.thermofisher.com>.

(and they have IPs.)
