 The WHOIS at www.nic.ve refers to that site, and it appears to be down

 There is no A record in the DNS for ve.whois-servers.net, which is what my

Seems to be up now. My WHOIS client is working today and the web
site WHOIS is working, so it looks like the site was really just
down for a while.

Thanks for the response.

This,

  450 4.1.1 dmora...@cnti.gob.ve: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in 
local recipient table

Did not bode well for success via that channel. Shoulda mentioned
that. And I should drop a courtesy note to the admin contact that
the technical contact isn't working. Thanks for reminding me.
