Hi,
We've been having a few issues with Telecom, who host our business
email, truncating a particular email through their virus gateway which
contained a zip file of 935Kb stating the file is too large -
uncompressed this is 26MB so a little odd since it must be expanding
the zip before calculating max size ?!, but this is an aside...
Whilst trying to get to the bottom of this issue with Telecom, I
noticed that the mail headers included a silent proxy through an mta
at nz.eds.com. When I asked their complex tech support about what
this server was for, he was very cagey and refused to tell me what it
was - which obviously only served to pique my curiosity more!
Now I know EDS from the UK as a major govt consulting entity, so I'm
imagining this is a 'silent' email storage/filter maybe for government
email snooping compliance. Is this just my conspiracy theorist
imagination gone wild?? Does anyone know if NZ law requires ISPs to
archive and store all emails going through their service for later
retrieval for legal/national security reasons?
Here's the headers:
Received: from aamta01.nz.eds.com ([64.38.4.150]) by mta03.xtra.co.nz
with ESMTP
id <[email protected]>;

Or maybe it's just a simple a content filtering gateway... :-)
Cheers,
