Question �How is email getting to him at all - is there some sort of wizardry going on that resolves hotmail.co.nz to hotmail.com that is not apparent when checking DNS , tracerouting or trying to browse to hotmail.co.nz?


Not sure if an MX record counts as wizardry these days, but:

dig +short hotmail.co.nz mx
5 mx1.hotmail.com.
5 mx2.hotmail.com.
5 mx3.hotmail.com.
5 mx4.hotmail.com.

Druidry perhaps?
