<p>any aussie IP range, strangely though if I use my box in Frankfurt, it gets replies, apnics web</p>
<p>interface also responds as well to whois. </p>
<p>the whois is just one part of my debugging, because a LOT of aussie sites, and only aussie sites, are 450ing as SERVFAIL. I've received an email from somebody who has told me they see the issue too, and the common factor has been identified and being looked into already.</p>

<div>I doubt there's too many mail servers out there that actually query <a href="http://whois.apnic.net">whois.apnic.net</a> when accepting mail. APNIC make the relevant data available via other means for things like anti-spam.</div>
