I'm familiar with greylisting, but completely neglected to consider it. 
We aren't doing greylisting at this end, but if the list server is, 
that would certainly explain the delay. I don't mind the delay if it 
means less spam making it onto the list (or less spam ending up in a 
queue somewhere requiring moderator intervention).
