That explains it...
I guess the best thing is if we change the .qmail to forward the mails
either to paul or to me. That will keep the spam out (out of the list at
least) and still will be fast enough (in terms of response time) for that
address.

BTW - it seems as if firstdata.com.au is blocked by the PenguinPlay list.
(receiving mails works, but posting doesn't). I can't tell for sure because
all that person gets is some dumb, generic "it didn't work" message from
firstdata :(
Where could I check this (You access the ORBS (??) db for this, right?) ?
