Re: [SLUG] Telstra relaying
Hi there
Telstra decided to stop relaying thru postoffice.telstra.net
because of spam
(I didn't even realize it was a open relay)
see the notice at the bottom
You still have the routing problem with hermes
so that was the solution in the end.

Comments:
The Telstra BPD secondary MX server (postoffice.telstra.net)
is intended for the use of customers as a backup mail server.
Telstra BPD does not provide a mail relay service.
Due to abuses of the secondary MX server, we have had to
forceably turn all mail relaying off postoffice.telstra.net.
This action does not affect the secondary MX hosting
functionality on postoffice.telstra.net and it will
continue to act as a backup mail server for domains
that are configured on it.
