This has just been a horrible experience…. My question is why doesn’t the company have DNS redundancy? This type of outage simply shouldn’t happen.

There are third party DNS providers who add their own APIs. Or I could write my own API to trigger a zone file rewrite and reload on a traditional server like bind.

Hello, I hope I’m in the right place, because I have a very specific question. I changed my mail provider (own domain) and so far everything is fine. Only MTA-STS is missing.
