Legitimate email can sometimes be caught as spam, and if it does not generate a message to the list moderators, if may be anywhere from a few minutes to several hours before it is noticed and released. However, by far the biggest reason a legitimate message is caught is when it is sent from another account rather than the one registered to amsat-bb. There have been a few today. The other reasons are distant seconds.
