There's been some problems with the mail server hosting the Hobbit mailing list over the past few days. It seems that mail has been rejected with a temporary error, so your mails to the list might have been delayed. It hasn't affected all mail, but some of it certainly has been queued up.
The problem was caused by a clamav virus scanner acting up; Debian bugtracker http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=467298 has the details.
My Hobbit setup did catch that clamav was misbehaving, but I didn't realize that it would have this impact on the mailsystem.
I expect the backlog to be flushed out over the next few hours. Sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.
