<p>Please be VERY careful blocking all unauthenticated .gov.au - emergency services can be affected by such actions. Especially when it seems they may not have a way of setting up authentication yet.</p>

You'd think wouldn't you? With a little bit of inbound flexibility,<br>
much of the Ausnog world could respond with a more aggressive response<br>
to unauthenticated email - particularly in targeted cases like this -<br>
and help their customers who are never going to be as savvy as the<br>
scammers.<br>
<br>
The senders being faked can do little beyond an attempt at outreach or<br>
a post here; it's the recipient systems that can do the most<br>
good. This is hardly a new problem or a new solution. Hands up<br>
everyone who can flick a switch and treat unauthenticated email from<br>
QLD transport (or all of .gov.au for that matter) with extreme<br>
prejudice?<br>
