Yes, one of my subsriptions stopped between 04:08 and 04:45.
This looks exactly the same problem I had a few days ago (or was that a 
different problem ?).
Also I know almost for sure, someone has cracked my password for the list,
because some settings were changed. Since than I use a safe password.
So indeed I think that someone is hacking/spamming within MIT,
what else would you expect with students ;-)
After the problem was solved (by James and Dan ?) I still got all the 
lost mails.
Fortunately I now have 2 subscriptions, so I can see if it goes wrong 
and don't miss anything ;-)


Also my own IP regular gets on the spamcop list.....
why ?
Because everyone in our company (over 10k people) has the same IP-address,
and so if one of them is sending spam (by accident or deliberately),
everyone's mail will be blocked :-(

And for the future it will become much worse,
my company has choosen not only to use spamcop,
but it will use in the future 5 other "spamcops" :-(
They don't realize what problems they will cause,
so I decided to search another provider.

cheers,
Stef Mientki
