A is hosted at webcentral.com.au while B is this address (optus). It  
is like the webcentral server is silently dropping mail from this  
server, but it has only suddenly started happening, it has been  
working perfectly for months.. The server is configured to masquerade  
out going mail as coming from the same domain as A, which could have  
something to do with why it would get rejected..
