New description:

 I noticed that on June 17th I stopped receiving all OSGeo mails from all
 OSGeo mailing lists (I must be on over 200 lists).  Zero since June 17th.

 (someone somewhere must be laughing at this though, as one of the only
 mails to still make it to me are from the geoserver-devel list, as it is
 of course through !SourceForge, ha, someone must be laughing at how ironic
 that is for me)

 I realize that this must be regarding my own email host/provider.  I have
 checked the osgeo6 mail logs, and the logs are littered with entries
 similar to:

 {{{
 Jun 22 06:05:49 osgeo6 postfix/smtp[14162]: 887506143EA5:
 to=<jmckenna at gatewaygeomatics.com>,
 relay=mailroot3.namespro.ca[169.55.177.75]:25, delay=2.9,
 delays=0.1/1.8/0.43/0.58, dsn=5.0.0, status=bounced (host
 mailroot3.namespro.ca[169.55.177.75] said: 554 The IP address of the
 sender (140.211.15.3) was found in a DNS blacklist database and was
 therefore refused. (in reply to RCPT TO command))
 }}}

 I have contacted my email provider, and will file a request to remove the
 blocklist ban on the OSGeo6 mail server (140.211.15.3).

 I guess this ticket has not much to do with OSGeo-SAC, but maybe someday
 someone else out there will face something similar, and this ticket's
 archive may help someone.

 I'll update this ticket when the DNS blocklist entry is removed.

 Short story: I'm now an expert on recent !GeoServer activity :)
