Mail blocked by some domains

Some domains have decided we're spam and are no longer accepting mail from us. This is a temporary situation, and I am working on getting in touch with the right people to make sure we can get unblocked and deliver mail in a timely fashion.

Domains known to be blocking at least some of our mail:

sbcglobal.net
att.net
earthlink.net

It's kind of hit and miss. We have four IPs that we send mail through and they blocked two of them. The other two remain unaffected. Of the two blocked, I have managed to get one unblocked through their automated system, but the other is still blacklisted.

I'll post again when I know more. In the meantime, if you use one of these providers and are having trouble getting mail, you may wish to consider temporarily using a different email address for now.

I wasnt sure where to post suggestions, so you can direct me to the proper place if you need to, but I've noticed that gmail doesnt sort my DW alerts by post. So I'll have just one email group that's "Reply to your comment", but it'll be comments made in different posts.

I'm not sure why this is happening, since LiveJournal email alerts seem to be formatted the same way, but I was wondering if you guys knew about this and why it's happening, or had a fix coming up, or if it's even a problem on DW's end. It's just difficult sorting through comments not knowing where the comment came from because one email has 60 different replies from... pretty much every place I've commented.

Thanks!
