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.
