I don't know if anyone from Xtra reads this list - trying to get through to anyone who has even an iota of understanding about this type of thing by phone appears to be almost impossible. Xtra has managed to get itself into the SBL realtime blocklist - http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL22816 It appears that someone objected to some promotional material sent out by the "House of Travel" travel agent group and has ended up blocking them; this means that one of Xtra's MX (mail exchanger) servers is now blocked by anyone who uses the SBL as a spam filter. If anyone knows anyone at Xtra who can do something about this, could you pass this message on? It's probably inconveniencing a reasonably large number of people. The NZNOG list would be a good place to post this too, I suppose, but I'm not a subscriber.

On a tangent: is there a list of Xtra's outgoing MXs? -- Juha

Was under action yesterday with Spamhaus apparently updating the SBL today.
