I'm sending this to the whole list, in case anyone else is wondering why
this may have happened to them. Comcast's e-mail server's DNS records were
briefly hijacked over the past few days:

This is probably what your problem was. E-mails sent by the mailing list
would almost certainly not have reached you during this outage. Corrected
DNS records should have circulated by now, and hopefully all Comcast users
should be able to access their e-mail.
Thank you very much for this, Ryan. I spent nearly a hour last evening with
a Comcast engineer fiddling with my preferences & settings, and he never
even mentioned this! Well, for good or ill, I'm back in the loop :-)
Thanks, again,
Marc
