I am looking for whois server that will provide domain names for all domains and not just those "local"
I found some
{"whois.domainsrs.com", "whois.easyspace.com", "whois.indiatimes.com", }
Where can I get the rest?
I do not like the official whois server for .com domain, which is whois.internic.net or whois.verisign-grs.com. It doesn't seem to work the same way with others. Also my telnet sometimes jam when connecting there.

The .COM TLD adopt a thin whois lookup model. You need to connect to verisign, perform a whois query, fetch the result, extract the endpoint and then perform the same query to the registrar endpoint.
The servers you listed are just 3 of the thousands accredited registrars. They are supposed to return a response only for the domains registered with them.
The only way to know which registrar is responsible for a .COM domain is passing by verisign.
Moreover, to answer the title of the question, generally every TLD is a thick whois server, except .NET, .COM and a few others gTLDs.

Trumail (https://github.com/trumail/trumail) is a free and open source email validation/verification system. but after installing it (we found an image in docker hub) we couldn't make it work and verify any email. if anyone has ever used it please send me a documentation or a video please .. thank you

Don't use it. It's a good way to get your mailserver blacklisted.
It opens a connection to the remote server and starts a delivery attempt to the specified email address.
If you do this with more than a few bad addresses, many servers will blacklist you and if you're unluckily, will report it to one or more blacklist providers as a directory havest attack.

I'm looking for a robust solution that can receive 50000 emails, strip out the attachment, and some metadata and add an item to an azure service bus for processing.
At the moment we are using a temp solution running an outlook email client on an azure VM but we are only processing 100 emails. This is not a future proof solution.
What you're after is some code that does listen for SMTP Traffic on port 25.
There is a great article on doing this with Azure that contains code examples:
http://blog.smarx.com/posts/emailtheinternet-com-sending-and-receiving-email-in-windows-azure
Basically, the idea is that you can spin up loads of recipients to take away the emails to the point where 50 000 emails is just a matter of how many servers you're willing to spin up.
I would even look into the Azure Service Fabric for a scalable application environment (unlike docker who does containerization) to scale in/out the need for email processor:

I'm having some trouble understanding domain and mx records.
If I direct the domain name from the register to where I am hosting a site. And on the Register I direct the MX records to another server that takes care of the email will that work?
Yes, that's exactly what MX records are for.
Let's say, your domain is whatever.net.
You create A records for domains that you want to point to your website, i.e. www.whatever.net, whatever.net. They will point to the IP of your web server.
Then you set an MX record that points to a domain, typically something like mail.whatever.net.
You must then set up an A record for mail.whatever.net to point to the IP of your email server.
Note that your mail domain does not have to be a subdomain of your domain. It can also be something completely different. For instance many small businesses set their MX to mail.google.com and sign up with google to handle all of their emails.

We've some production and local development servers that we use to host database and web apps for our clients. Some of them are mapped as websites to client's domain (i.e. we've both web apps with url - http://71.22.33.xx/demo/login & http://order.clientweb.com/login)
Recently one of our clients reported that the website is down it returns a
"Service Unavailable" error. Eventually it turned that
the server was not reachable via remote desktop and none of the
websites on that server were responsive! We had to ping the hosting
company to reboot the server after which it was back online.
We can't predict future situations but how to get notified when the website or the server is down? A simple way would be to ping 71.22.33.xx but I believe that's old school. Are there any tools (like this) which would not only monitor or eventually check the availability and most importantly mail the admin when it goes down.
I'm sure I'm not the first one with such requirement :-) Here's a similar post. Some one please help ?
Thank you.
PS: Or do I've to write my own like this.
There are a number of products/services that can notify you if your website is down:
New Relic
Nagios
Montastic
Pingdom
Some provide more features than others so pick the solution most suitable for your needs.

I need a Mail Server to test an application that send and receive emails.
So it should:
be lightweight and small in size
be free (like free beer), open source preferred
support Win XP
support SMTP, IMAP (POP3 is optional)
install clean
Plz:
Don't suggest connecting to Gmail, its ports are blocked.
Don't suggest testing frameworks.
How about hMailServer: http://www.hmailserver.com/
It includes SMTP, POP3, IMAP servers
I'm rather fond of Papercut. It only does SMTP, but it can run without administrator privileges.
