Yeah, that sounds about right....  Although I've been somewhat successful
in getting my domains removed from their blacklist.   Mostly it seems
due to a few domains that perform a redirect to my MIT account.  The
MIT Barracuda systems see the spam that gets redirected to my account due
to me being a postmaster and think that my systems (code.gnucash.org
being one of them) is a spammer.   I've since got MIT to whitelist some
domains, and I've been able (I'm guessing due to my connections to MIT)
to get them removed from the B.C. Blacklist.

As of right now it LOOKS like it should be better..  And I've reconfigured
so it shouldn't be forwarding directly anymore.   but we'll see.

In the longer term I just need to setup my own mail server and
move away from MIT as my mail host.  :-(

Hopefully not too many other people have been affected.  But me, I personally
lost a few days of GnuCash mail.   (as per the archives)
