I did the check, but it's coming back clean. Also, like I said, if I send a REPLY to a message I sent myself yesterday, it comes through with no problem. If I send a NEW message, it never shows. It's very mysterious :)

You might want to do a quick check on the sending email server's mx records (to make sure it hasn't gotten added to any RBL's or similar, reverse-dns is working, etc). I use this site to check our domain and others when i start hearing about such issues: http://www.mxtoolbox.com/index.aspx

I am experiencing something similar. I have sent the relevant server logs to the helpdesk, but have not heard anything yet.
