Originally I thought it was the DNS records that had been erased or
corrupted, but in view of what others have said it looks like the 123-Reg
server is claiming that Gmail or Hotmail don't exist.

Working again, seems the problem existed from 15th to 17th, it would be
rare for me to go even one day without receiving at least one email to the
123 domain(s).

Same here - burst back into life yesterday afternoon. Keeping my fingers
crossed that it continues without too many hiccups!
