I don't know how to get help from the admin, sorry, but when I've had 
similar trouble before it's been for one of a few different reasons:

* Are you often at or near your mail quota, so that your ISP may be 
bouncing messages because there's no room in your Inbox?
* Do you have any filtering turned on locally, that is, is it possible 
you're bouncing the messages yourself? In that case you probably also 
have logs that indicate why.
* If not, and your ISP is bouncing the messages before they get to you, 
maybe they have some spam filter set too strictly. Can you have the 
fedora-list address added to a white-list somehow?

Even without evidence, you can probably ask your ISP under what 
circumstances they ever bounce messages, and then start ruling things 
out from there.
