If youre getting that message you can bring up the homepage by using the ISP address: 65.39.178.11

You can see that the site is up, just that some of our ISPs have not updated the domain names yet I guess, and so do not recognize www.hotmail.com. Have to wait till they update.

If you use the ISP address above youll get to homepage, but cant do much more than that.

cyber-rights (on hushmail servers) is still not working, and the IP address can be resolved. ISP's cache it for a certain amount of time, depends on the ISP, you can clear your local dns cache by typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt of a windows computer.

No, they are still having issues, myself and dozens of others I have spoke to all around the country still cannot get in.

I've posted my quick fix on four boards and it is 100% effective for everyone that has used it so far. Its just a matter of updating your hosts file until the dns entries propogate out to all the dns servers and the caches clear. The servers are up and working, your system just cant find them. wth, I'll post it here as well:
there is a file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc named HOSTS
-Open the file in notepad
-add the following lines to it:
65.39.178.11 www.hushmail.com
65.39.178.30 mailserver1.hushmail.com
65.39.178.21 mailserver2.hushmail.com
65.39.178.20 mailserver3.hushmail.com
65.39.178.27 mailserver4.hushmail.com
65.39.178.19 mailserver5.hushmail.com

it should look like this when your done:
Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost
65.39.178.11 www.hushmail.com
65.39.178.30 mailserver1.hushmail.com
65.39.178.21 mailserver2.hushmail.com
65.39.178.20 mailserver3.hushmail.com
65.39.178.27 mailserver4.hushmail.com
65.39.178.19 mailserver5.hushmail.com

Once you save the file you will be able to access cyber-rights/hushmail again. This forces your system to resolve the server locally vs. going through DNS. You will want to delete the line you added after the DNS fix completes propagating throughout the net, if you dont and they change the IP you wont be able to access it.

If you are using Linux/Unix make the same entries in /etc/hosts as root.
