    $ dig mailserver.purelymail.com
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    mailserver.purelymail.com. 60 IN A 18.204.123.63
    
    $ whois 18.204.123.63  
    OrgName:        Amazon Technologies Inc.

For some stupid reason I can't bare to see that done in 3 lines.

  whois $(dig +short A $(dig +short MX purelymail.com | head -n 1) | head -n 1)

I stopped using -n X for head/tail in favor of just -X (eg -1 or -10 or whatever). Save a few keystrokes, plus certain unixes (eg Solaris) only work with -X and don’t the support -n switch.
