THanks for the tip, Dave. My ISP was the first place I checked. They're nice people, and gave me a full list of their spam filters. So, I'm pretty sure it's not them. However, most email to Norway from abroad come through a few major pipelines, and something may have gone haywire at the Norwegian gateway. Or maybe somewhere else in the routing process, I don't know. The "dump" of the message that bounced was interesting read; -the way it is possible to trace the mail's journey through cyberspace from PDML to Bergen (where my domain's mailserver is located).
It's now 6 hours since I resub'ed, and mails have come in a smooth trickle as usual. Fingers crosxef...
