Thanks for the info Doug. I thought they were because I've seen lots of customers getting errors since last week. I'm guessing they did this because of the SoBig.f virus.
For those keeping score at home, MSN, Earthlink/Mindspring, and Cox do this as well.

Most third party mail servers will fail, as they are usually overridd3n by their provider's reverse DNS lookup. As a result, your inbound mail cannot be received at your RR account unless it comes from a major ISP. Independent mail servers, while they may well comply with all RFCs are blocked by RR now. This is costing them a ton of customers. We have a notice posted about RoadRunner on the index page of our group web site at http://samcfug.org. None of our members can receive mail list mail from our group server, nor can they send outbound mail using their user group email address, if they are on a RoadRunner connection.
