Recent commentsRe: Maintainer?
The addresses I'm sending from are @xaoza.net and @nuix.com.au, but the ISPs are optusnet.com.au and iprimus.com.au (the former being probably the biggest ISP in the country,) respectively.
BTW, sorry to clog up your FM comments, but since there's no other way to send messages... :-/
Re: Maintainer?
If it's not a bounce, then it's doing a good job of looking like one.
(reason: 554 : Client host rejected: Access denied due to mail system abuse)
I'm getting the same error from multiple mail providers on my end, so how are the other messages getting through? In any case do you have a secondary email address?
Maintainer?
I know Christos is supposed to be the maintainer and everything, but if his email bounces everything which is sent to it, how is he to be contacted?
