Tom,
I think you are right. Once the list got back up, I saw that i
was not the only one with problems over the weekend.

I just received this email today (6/1/08). It is the first email since
1:30 am on 5/28/08. How do I know if my mail is bouncing back and what
do I need to do to keep on the list?
I think AOL was down over the weekend. The message I got said "I wasn't
able to establish an SMTP connection" so that means AOL's inbound email
server was down. It is now back up, so you need to do nothing on that
score.
If you are getting bounces for other reasons you may have to follow up.
First thing to do is to just send the message again. Larger ISPs have
multiple SMTP servers. Sometimes one gets blacklisted, but when you send
again you have a good chance of getting a different SMTP server.
If the bounce persists you need to talk to your ISP.
If you think your are not getting mail from the list the first thing to
check is the archives. This list is archived on two systems (details at
cguys.org). That will give you something definite to show your ISP.
