I also experienced the symptom of no incoming alt-photo email
(including my own post) for past 3 days. Quick check on email headers
suggest that the delay was related to skynet.usask.ca or
skyway.usask.ca (sask.usask.ca) during delivery of the list messages.
A typical header goes like this:

  [...]
  Received: from skynet.usask.ca (skynet.usask.ca [128.233.192.233])
          by mx2.messagingengine.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id EA23EADAA5
          for <rs@silvergrain.org>; Mon, 4 Oct 2004 23:28:54 -0400 (EDT)
  Received: from PROCESS-DAEMON.sask.usask.ca by sask.usask.ca
   (PMDF V6.2-X27 #30875) id <01LFL0S36ACW8Y0243@sask.usask.ca>
   (original mail from sanking@clemson.edu) for rs@silvergrain.org; Sun,
   03 Oct 2004 05:37:16 -0600 (CST)
  [...]

(My email provider's server (mx2.messagingengine.com, aka
smtp.us.messagingengine.com) has been working fine for emails from
other sources, and the alt-photo list email address is on my white
list.)
