If you care to check you will find that this address is part of what covers most if not all of Australian ISPs.

Ummm, as one who has been a systems and network admin for businesses and ISP's in Australia for two decades, I can assure you those two ranges given shouldn't stop any ISP mail. The first being hosting company aussiehq/jumba which are populated with nutters, and the second is another hosting company, neither of those ranges are used by anyone of consequence, and they most certainly are not used by iinet so would not interfere with your mail. If Duaine has blocked those ranges because of spam, he should visit the acma.gov.au website, Australia has very strict laws about spamming by Aus based persons/organisations, if he has blocked them because of L-users, well, in (1)'s case, probably justified, in (2), can't say I've noticed any problems with them before. The fact he mentioned his provider uses an outsource spam method, is where the problem probably exists, those places are like ionports, good for one thing, boat anchors! Cheers
