The amsat-bb list has been placed in "Emergency Moderation" mode as of approximately 02:30 UTC Tuesday due to numerous violations of the Acceptable Use Policy for the AMSAT Public Mailing Lists.
In relevant part:
"Strong disagreements on issues are inevitable, but the AMSAT mailing lists are not the place for exchanges which become spiteful, unproductive exchanges. If you must have a heated exchange, it should be conducted privately and not in public on a mailing list. In addition, you agree that as a user of the AMSAT Lists, you will not ...communicate any .... vulgar, hateful ... material of any sort."
Outgoing mail from the AMSAT mail server is rate limited. Recent unusually high list traffic has caused some delivery delays prior to the emergency moderation action made at 02:30 UTC.
