My hosting service thinks it's all worked out now but you never know... Wow, it finally works for me now (and I'm not in Australia!). The whole issue is that Australia and New Zealand have IP ranges administered by APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Center). Thus, they are lumped in with places like China and Korea, which, along with other places in eastern Asia, are major sources of network abuse like hacking, spamming, etc. The only time this is big a problem is when a block of Oz/NZ IP addresses falls *within* a block of, say, Chinese addresses. My hosting service blocks all SMTP traffic from most of APNIC except Australia and New Zealand. Not just because of the annoyance of spammers, but because for a small service that pays according to bandwidth usage, this stuff costs the recipient real money. Anyway, I'm glad to have cleared it up. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com

Maybe that says more about you than your ISP's. :-) Mark, are you trying to black list Rob? or just us Aussies in general? vbg Dave On 2/18/06, Rob Studdert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 18 Feb 2006 at 9:17, Trevor Bailey wrote: Neither have I.
