How to find a domain's server name

Post by Ruthie »

Hi guys, I'm a Linux newbie. For checking a domain's server I usually use the ping command. But it doesn't show server name all the time. Most of the time it only shows the IP. Is there any other way to find the server name of a domain with a simple command?

Normally telnet to SMTP port will display the hostname of the server unless it is not disabled in the configuration.So you can use #telnet example.com 25

No mention. For a quick response you can also use #telnet example.com 587.
