Have you checked your subscription using the web reference in the bottom of
every e-mail?  This may have information if mail to your address has been
bouncing.

It's entirely possible that comcast could be rejecting connections from the
linux-sxs mail server as it's on an IP address they may consider to be
``residential DSL''.  I know this is an issue with some of our customer's
QWest DSL systems connection to AOL, and we have had to use the postfix
transport file to redirect all their AOL mail through one of our servers
here.

I'm in the process of setting up a new mail server here with Mailman that
will be hosting some technical mailing lists we're now doing with
majordomo, and some lists for our new libertysoft.org domain (this domain
will be concentrating on open source software for serious business
applications).  We could probably host the SxS lists here which would avoid
some problems like this.
