- I'm a little surprised to find New Zealand mentioned here as being on
- the periphery of the Internet connected via store and forward
- connections. I would have though that a round trip ping time of 800 ms
- to mailhub.yorku.ca given that one of the hops in the link is a
- trans-Pacific satellite connection makes us as well connected as many
- other non US or CA sites. That satellite link goes straight into FIX
- West by the way.

- If you need to increase the threshold to get mail to us then
- somethings broken.
