I've been doing damage control on this since last weekend. See 
<http://www.macfixit.com/archives/november.01.b.shtml#11-20-01> for 
details, but Apple notes:

"Delivery of mail through the Mac.com domain may currently be subjected 
to delays. This will affect messages being sent to Mac.com addresses as 
well as messages forwarded to other addresses through Mac.com. Mail sent 
to the Mac.com domain should not be lost, but the sending server will 
determine when the message will be re-queued. If a message is sent to a 
mac.com address and it does not go through immediately, the sending 
server should send an alert to the originator of the message notifying 
them that their mail did not go through on the first attempt but that the 
server would re-queue the message for later delivery. This, however, 
depends on the configuration of the individual server, so not all sending 
servers will behave alike. This may result in delays, but no mail will be 
lost. We are actively working towards a resolution and appreciate 
everyone's patience until it is resolved."

Mac.com appears to be refusing to accept incoming mail from outside 
servers. This is a real problem, since I am one of hundreds of subscribes 
using a mac.com email address. (Well, I was. I'm now using my listmom 
address.)

Having clueless idiots asking questions isn't a problem.
  The problem is when clueless idiots answer questions. ;-)
