Hi guys, DIBP updated their auto-reply today:-

We have recently moved to a global allocation model for processing cases.

I *think* they marked my email address as spam cos I've been sending them blank emails every Monday and maybe they caught on with what I was doing... anyway I used another email address and got the auto reply this time round.
My application was submitted on 29 Sep so fingers crossed on getting a response from them tomorrow!
