That wouldn't normally be a problem, actually.
The problem with the other E-mail was that Declude saw it as originating in
the U.S., and being relayed through a server in Australia in order to get
to a U.S. destination.
If someone in Austria, for example, were to use your SMTP server, it would
be OK. Declude would still see that the E-mail originated in Austria, not
the U.S. If they sent E-mail to someone else in Austria, the E-mail would
go from Austria to the U.S. to Austria. That is quite inefficient -- but,
there aren't many spammers in Austria routing their spam through U.S.
servers, so Declude isn't going to have a problem with it.

The most common reason for failing that test is a U.S. spammer who
originates an E-mail in the U.S., relays off of a foreign server (that is
more likely to be an open relay, would be less easy to trace, and less easy
to prosecute) which then sends it back to a U.S. destination.
