Chrissy has said that Xtra are making decisions on what is and is not
spam... really? If youre seeing mail being handled as if it were spam
where it isnt, i'm sure they'd be more than happy to address your issue.
Spoken with their helpdesk, or postmaster@ ?

Xtra Jetstream Starter plans give you unlimited domestic traffic and 5GB
International. Commonsense dictates a few alternatives.

1) Change ISP to one that provides a higher International BW Limit. (As
with all choices in life you weigh the pros and the cons. If the
advantage is the increase in bandwidth (or cheaper charges for said
bandwidth) and the disadvantage is managing two bills per month instead
of one - then all due respect, bite the bullet and accept the options
available to you instead of moaning about it)
or
2) Change MX Provider to one located within New Zealand, thereby using
the unlimited domestic traffic provided by XTra,
or
3) Do as suggested above and have the mail forwarded to an alternative
mailbox at Xtra, assuming you can resolve whatever other issues you
apparrantly have with their mail platform,
or
4) Forward to any other mail account hosted within NZ.

None of this has anything to do with the ADSL mailing list however, and
the S:N ratio on this list has been rediculous of late. Yet theres
always a good reason isn't there?
