Re Telstra email.......
1. Somewhere a statement was made that they updated some software,
which was probably microsoft stuff seeing they are tied in there
and ... It had bugs. They were still sorting that out.. So the story
went.
2. Spam has created a 25 % increase in their mail traffic in just 2 weeks.
I don't know anybody who could justify having that amount of system
hardware just sitting around on a " MAYBE the spammers will generate
more mail and we might need this " basis.
