In my case it turned out that (A) I was pasting in a snippet of XML;
(B) my mail client (Thunderbird ) decided therefore to send the
whole message as HTML; (C) apache's SpamAssassin has rules about
HTML and decided it was spam.
The fix (in TBird) was to edit the Contact record for
[email protected].
There is a preference for plaintext/HTML. I had as usual left it at the
default,
which lets TBird guess. Setting it to plaintext solved the problem.
(FWIW: Along the way I think I figured out also that the SpamAssassin rules
that Apache is using also award penalty points for email addresses that end
in digits, like mine or yours (Josh), as well as free email services like
gmail, and even my non-free ISP comcast, and email addresses with no
real username in brackets. It just didn't love me. But getting rid of the
HTML lowered my score enough to get through.)

a mail or a reply, i get a mail delivery failure. Today it however seemed
to be working. I have been able to send a reply. If this gets through, i
will conclude that the issue has been resolved or resolved its self.

Very sorry if this actually goes through, nothing else would
