The last daily email I received was from January 4, 2009. Has anybody else not gotten one this (work) week?

I double-checked your account, and the strips are still being sent out on our end.
The most common problem in a case like this is an over-zealous spam filter, residing either in your remote mail server (a system like Brightmail, for example, or a corporate mail filter), or a spam filter residing on your Mac/PC.
Just go into the filter, and tell it not to screen "Sheldon"-related e-mails.
Hope that helps!

I double-checked all SPAM filter areas that I am aware of (GMAIL.com, POBOX.com) and found nothing. I sent myself an email to verify the address was valid and that worked. So I am trying to update/change my email address (hoping a different address might work), but when I click on the registration confirmation link, I get the following:

The record of your change request wasn't found.

I tried twice and got the same error.

Our hosting admin traced back the problem for you, and it does indeed look like a server-side spam filter, residing at smtp.secureserver.net. One or another of the companies who host/route your mail must use their systems.
In the meantime, I'm happy to help change any e-mail delivery settings for you, as I know that system can get wonky. Just e-mail me the changes you'd like at dave@davekellett.com.
Thanks!

I feel bad for you: I don't know what I'd do without my daily Sheldon.
Hope Dave can fix it for you.
