Big Pond puts the bounce on Optus
If you're an Optusnet user, and you have to communicate by email with Big Pond users, you've got problems. Big Pond is bouncing messages generated from Optusnet servers, in what appears to be a dispute over spam measures.
Wouldn't it be nice if two huge companies could sort out their differences in a way that didn't victimise members of the Internet community?

Charles - you really should try to understand what RBL is. Nothing to do with a dispute between BigPond and Optus. An international spam blacklist provider has some Optus IP addresses listed as spam sources. This has, I am told, been an issue for them for about five or six weeks. It's for Optus to sort out with RBL. I'm sure BigPond will not be the only RBL-subscribing ISP to be bouncing Optus mail as a result.
