Well you may be paying someone for all kinds of things, but the
MX entry in the .com.au namespace is not something that you would pay
AARNet for when your traffic is not passed over AARNet.

For the the MX entry? Warwick Jackson (warwick@,jackson@praxa.com.au)
for registration within the .com.au namespace, and then kre for the
entry itself.
