...at podcast@podcastconnect.com.  I got an email back from Todd Cochrane saying that the confirmation emails had been sent and they were being blocked somewhere after that.  He wants to blame my ISP.  But he said that he would validate my emails manually.

So now I'm trying a different email account with a different provider.  Same result.

Those folks don't have their act together.  The votes are not being counted accurately.

I haven't had any issues, but I'm using Gmail and Firefox.

I have a Gmail account that I can use.  But it still means that lots and lots of people have not had their votes counted.

I wrote a message back to them saying that I think they're routing their confirmation emails through a server that's either been blacklisted and is blocked by other servers' spam filters, or it's going through a server with an open port 25, which most other servers recognize as a spoofable server, and they block emails from it.

Whether or not they do anything about it -- like cancel the vote and start over in order to be fair and accurate -- is still up in the air.  But right now, all we know is that a lot of votes are not being counted.
