atw: If you are encountering bounced E-mails at the moment.

With information coming up as:
>    ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
><person.lastname@xxxxxxxxxxx>
>     (reason: 500 access denied; too many concurrent connections)

It appears as though the Telstra big swamp has spat the dummy again.

I am reliably informed by someone in the know that this is because they run 
their mail servers at 90% capacity and, when they get any sudden influx of 
additional mail, such as in self-perpetuating Spam or viruses that grab 
address books, the whole lot falls in a screaming heap.  Which is pretty 
much what happened last week when they encountered a 20% increase in mail 
and is why they try and limit file attachments to one megabyte.

That's what you get when you get an Internet "service" restricted in scope 
by the bean counters.
