The problem should be resolved now.  It was due to my installing an
overly agressive anti-spam rule to shed load from a recent botnet spam
attack.  This ended up blocking more than intended.  I removed it now
and things are now as they were before.  And fortunately the botnet
spam seems to have moved elsewhere.

It was a screw-up on my part.  And I failed to send a note to the list
to communicate what I was doing.  Sorry.  This is a good motivator for
me to be more transparent to the mailing list.  I was communicating on
IRC with sysadmin about it so they were aware.  But I should have sent
an email here.  My apologies.
