When I looked into this, I found that mail I sent to myself from freefall (both to here and to a few other domains in .au) also came via munnari. I'd assumed that this was setup to allow all mailing list traffic to .au to go from one connection from freefall. Was this intentional? Do others in .au see this? We certainly don't have an MX pointing to that site. The down side of this from my point of view is that munnari.oz.au often has a long mail queue, and it isn't unusual for the mail to be delayed and out of order. David
