Actually, it is the reverse.  Lots of messages are being delivered.
Unfortunately, they are mostly one huge spam (over 15,000 messages).  The
problem is being dealt with and normal speedy email service will hopefully
resume shortly.

mail server directly from their cable modem connection.

They have been suspended.

Heh.  The email advertising the Fake ID software has a fax machine phone
number on the order form for the web page that is advertised in the spam.
