FWIW I have a bunch if mail still stuck in my outgoing queue for a
certain [EMAIL PROTECTED] subscribed to the CompSci list at
free.net.ph due to connection timeout issues.

Most mailing list management software will handle bounce-back reports
from the MTA and will flag user so that he/she won't receive mail if a
certain threshold is reached. You can check your account settings to see
if you are flagged with a no-mail attribute or something to that effect.

I did a query and the MX for ceruleansoftware.com is 203.131.108.204,
which being on the ePLDT network I can reach (ping) quite easily.
Connections to port 25 fail though. They time out after not getting a
reply. I notice that 203.131.108.204 is adsl-131.108.204.info.com.ph. I
hope this is a static IP address. I have a slight hunch it's part of the
block that PLDT gives out dynamically for MyDSL users.
