I also setup my account to also forward everything received on GMail to my ISP POP mail. At the time I initiated it, for some unknown (unwarranted) reason Internode was getting blacklisted. What I did notice recently was that some of your postings seemed to be taking a long while to transit - coming in out of sequence - didn't know whether this had anything to do with the past delays that Telstra imposed on your traffic?

GMail is not doing this. The problem on GMail appears to have started about 2-3 weeks ago from what I can see, so perhaps they have changed their software or filters ? In any case if it cant be fixed I will simply DUMP Gmail and go elsewhere. Can't really complain to GMail, after all it's a free service !
