Everyone:
I've found the root cause of the problem with Greg and I both being
"removed." Apparently Spam Assassin, beginning late on the 18th started
blocking messages due to the mail server at linuxhacker.org being
hosted on a dynamic IP and DHCP-assigned machine (is it?) The SA
headers from a sample rejected mail:

Alex - is this correct that linuxhacker is hosted on a dynamic IP? This
could be causing many, many people to miss emails from the list and not
even realize it - especially if their ISP is doing their filtering for
them. This is happening on a bone-stock 3.0.2 version of SA.
I'm having the linuxhacker.org domain whitelisted for now, but we
probably need to get to the root of the problem so others can benefit.
