@reverseics I was going to suggest that it's dot com now but I don't think it's the same whitehouse dot com that it used to be.

@h2onolan @reverseics Looking at pDNS, the last time whitehouse[.]gov had its own MX was 2018.

essentially 2010-2018. before and after, mail.whitehouse.gov

@reverseics

I get that but it's just really freaking weird to not have an MX record for your base domain. Or am I missing something really obvious here?

@mav @reverseics i think this is a typical us gov thing (see, for example, mail.house.gov) but am unsure why
