[AuckLUG] Xtra-Yahoo Webmail

[David Hawke]

Also noticed that if you use fetchmail / getmail to pull in mail, the ip 
address of pop3.xtra.co.nz will return as 1.0.0.0

Needed to use the ip address
124.108.96.66
to get the mail successfully

FYI
dnsqr a pop3.xtra.co.nz
1 pop3.xtra.co.nz:
117 bytes, 1+3+0+0 records, response, noerror
query: 1 pop3.xtra.co.nz
answer: pop3.xtra.co.nz 51 CNAME pop3.tnz.yahoo.com
answer: pop3.tnz.yahoo.com 1429 CNAME pop1.tnz.mail.vip.aue.yahoo.com
answer: pop1.tnz.mail.vip.aue.yahoo.com 3135 A 124.108.96.66
