Nope, still haven't seen it :(. 

Ok, this is probably only the paranoia talking but does anyone know what the 
topology of iinet is like wrt port 25? Is there something carnivore like 
lurking in the bushes? 

I say this because I have multiple instances of emails taking _hours_ to 
traverse iinet (both ends use iinet as ISP, both ends run smtpd's) or 
occasionally disappearing entirely. Headers show the mail leaving remote 
site as expected and should then virtually instantly arrive at my gateway 
but _something_ happens inbetween that is not being shown because large 
globs of time go by before anything arrives :(. 

I would suspect that I'd borked something up but it seems to mostly effect 
iinet and no one else. 

Oh well... the laser kits from Altronics look a good solution :).
