MX records pointing at Postini again

Back in March I raised a ticket to be removed from Postini (ticket ID 24370571) and have my MX records pointing at the Plusnet mail servers. This was working fine until 06/04/08 when the headers show that I have been redirected back to the Postini mail servers again. I thought maybe this was a temporary thing, but one week later it is still happening.
Can anyone shed any light on why this has happened?

No, I haven't changed anything. It looks like it is tied in with the host of other problems identified last week relating to Postini and anti-spam. I have now raised a ticket.

Re: MX records pointing at Postini again

Looks like a DNS update script has swung you back round to Postini. To be honest this shouldn't really matter as long as the spam and edge filters are switched off. Postini won't be rejecting anything if you configure your settings like this.
We /might/ be able to opt you back out manually but it's a bit messy TBH as the scripts we did have to do this will no longer work. I personally would advise against it as it's more likely to result in issues when we have to make future changes to the platform.

As long as there are no complications from pointing at Postini then I am happy to leave things. Can you update the ticket (24739435 ) to reiterate your post above and then I will close it.
