Weird. I'm getting the same thing from my side, but mail is somehow getting through from the mailing lists. Let me call tech support and find out what is going on.

All right. After half an hour on hold for the tech support line, I got an answer.
They just blocked a large number of non-US addresses due to spam-flooding - I
submitted a request to get coderock.org on the whitelist. Should be done Monday or Tuesday.

Best thing about calling ISP tech support on the weekends is you actually get competent people manning the phones every once in a while ;)

I've had similar problems sending mail to James; this isn't a problem with your setup, Domen.

"Next the statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting the blame upon 
the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those
conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse
to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by and by convince 
himself that the war is just, and will thank God for the better sleep 
he enjoys after this process of grotesque self-deception." -- Mark Twain

*sigh*. It almost looks like I have to go to a SDSL business-class connection and run my own domain and mailserver - #%^#^! spammers and the super-boneheaded #$%&*#^ "solutions" that ISP's come up with.

Quick workaround - use my gmail account ([email protected]). Let me monkey around with my mail client to see how to set up "reply-to:"
