The fact that you have not observed the phenomenon in question is not
evidence that it doesn't exist. In fact, it was discussed here on 1/29,
it was clearly transitory in nature (i.e. it was not the result of any
kind of permanent spamblocking) and it clearly had the effect of denying
legitimate email traffic which had passed successfully both the evening
before and the following day.
In other words, all of the available evidence suggests a screw-up. Further,
the note which Mitch Collinsworth was kind enough to forward gives one
possible explanation -- although it's not completely obvious what
the cause-and-effect relationhip is, because the note that Mitch forwarded
involved routing and the observed problem shows no overt evidence of being
related to routing.
