Topica is in the process of being added to a number of blocklists, and I am 
unsure if this is the issue at Verizon. (At least, this is the way I 
interpret the discussion on SPAM-L).  If there was a bounce available, 
seeing it might help.  Feel free to e-mail it to me privately.

However, there may well be some escalation blacklisting regarding 
topica.  They have had some large number of lists with spamtrap addresses 
signed up onto their service and they have not vetted them well.  They also 
have some subsidiary who is more, shall we say, oriented to delivering less 
solicited mail, and that subsidiary delivers from the same servers.

So, if I was looking for uninterrupted service and my mailing list was 
actually opt-in, I would go
elsewhere for mailing list service.

War is an ugly thing, but it is not the ugliest of things. The decayed and 
degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is 
worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to 
fight, nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety, is a 
miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made so by the 
exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill
