I've sent two emails to the list since last week that appear to have been
held in some sort of mod queue, and I'm not sure what to do. I tried
sending Jay West an email and got no reply. Does anyone else know who
might have mod access?
The first time it happened I resent the email and it still didn't make it
through. The second time (with a different email) I didn't bother to try
to resend. The only thing the two emails have in common is that they both
included links, but none of the links are related in any way, not even the
domain names in the links.

The same thing has happened to me. I sent two letters which had links
about 20 hours ago. Nothing?

The first email that I noticed not going through was sent Mon, 30 Jul 2012
04:45:18. I tried resending it Tue, 31 Jul 2012 05:12:57 and it still
didn't go through. The second email I sent Fri, 3 Aug 2012 15:19:57 and
that one also just disappeared.
The first email contained two eBay links (one quoted), a link to
AppleFritter and a link to Google+. The second email contained two
links to my own webserver hosted via a dyndns hostname.
Lawrence mentioned off-list that my emails weren't in the mod queue, so I
dunno what happened to them. If some sort of filter nabbed them, the same
may have happened to the email I sent Jay, although that email didn't
contain any links.

Hm, my experience here may actually be relevant.
I had my subscription auto-suspended. This happens routinely (not just
with this list), because lists pass various things I reject, such as
mail with gross syntax errors. (I have a standing offer to listowners
and postmasters to make their mail which would normally be rejected
instead silently vanish; Jay hasn't taken me up on it, and I _think_
I've mentioned it to him - if not, now I have. :) So, I have scripts
that cooperate to notice the alert mail saying this has happened and
auto-unsuspend the subscription.
Recently, I had a case where the script-generated unsuspend mail was
rejected, supposedly because the token in it was invalid even though it
was taken directly from a minutes-old alert email. I sent mail to the
owner address in the alert asking what happened, but got no response.
I eventually got unsubbed and resubbed again, but if something is
losing mail to Jay, this could have hit my mail. It contained links,
but they were all quoted from the various automated emails sent to me;
I should _hope_ they wouldn't trip any filters.
