Cox has been having pretty bad problems with their email servers for the last 4 or 5 days. I've been getting messages several days late, there was a 12 hour or so window a few days ago where I didn't get ANY email (despite being on dozens of very active mailing lists) and when my email came back, there were only a few messages, not the hundred or so email backlog from the lists I was expecting (not to mention the 200-300 spam emails I'd have usually gotten during that time) I soon received messages from several of those lists saying I had been unsubscribed because too many messages to me had bounced. If you were expecting any important emails, I'd double check with the sender if you could and see if they've gotten lost on the way to you. You can go to status.cox.net to see what kind of problems they are currently having, though it usually just says something rather un-helpful like "Some customers may be unable to receive email, we are aware of the problem and are working to fix it, there is no estimated time for repair." Sending an email to customer service didn't get me any solid answers about what was going on with my email either. Cox was the highest rated broadband ISP in PC magazine a few months ago.
