    As opposed to NNTP (news), there normally aren't many hops in email
    delivery. In fact it usually flows directly from the sender's ISP to the
    recipient's ISP. If it were all people in Australia using a particular
    ISP then yes, it could be that ISP's fault. But since we have multiple
    people with all different ISP's reporting the problem, it almost
    certainly is an issue with the originating ISP (aka Javien).
