I don't know for certain, but this is likely due to tripping Majordomo's
administrivia filter, in which case the message will just sit in the
list owner mailbox for list-managers until I can approve it, which is
usually the same day or overnight, but is occasionally delayed when I'm
traveling, etc. 

List-managers and majordomo-{users,workers) are, obviously, among the
worst lists for accidentally triggering the admin filter since a lot of
what we talk about necessarily concerns the, er, Forbidden Words.  

(For those of you unfamiliar with what I'm talking about here, Majordomo
has a feature intended to suppress all those "unsubscribe me" [etc.]
messages sent to the list, by trapping anything that even vaguely looks
like a list server request and holding it for manual approval by the
list manager.)
