Might be eskimo.com recent crash. Or being flaky. Or spam filters
at ISP level. Vortex-L ISP has them (eskimo.com) and I'm
frequently having to ask eskimo admin to put particular people on
their internal "whitelist."
If yours or Abd's provider becomes a source of spam, and ends up on
one of the system-wide RBL blacklists, their mail will stop getting
through in some places which use the RBLs to block spammers.
Supposedly this happens to enough people on the offending domain so
that the admin will be forced to take action against spammers using
their system.
I don't think the problem is with eskimo.com. I am getting no email
from Abd from two different lists, and I sent a personal message to
Abd asking for a reply. I didn't get a reply, so I assume it got
swallowed up somewhere as well. I called my ISP and the support
person said it wasn't them. Very mysterious. I have possibly
narrowed the problem down to my system, but am waiting for Abd to
post a message so I can do my check on this.
