 You have two subscriptions ? (normal account, and @lfs).  If so,
one of them should be set to not deliver.  That might have got
damaged when the lists moved.

 Probably the bottom of the page at

LOL.  I'm subscribed to lkml, and I see long delays from a few
people.  Actually, some internal mails from my desktops (notification
that a backup ran, or didn't because the nfs mount was already in
use, and in particular SMART reports when I boot) have been delayed
for a couple of days recently (probably until I booted that system
again) for my first systemd build.  In theory, postfix was enabled
on the first boot, but it looks as if the initial mail had been
pushed into a "cannot send, retry later" queue.  That is unlikely to
be relevant to you, but changes at your ISP, such as mail servers
having to be rebooted, can cause delays.  That also happens from
time to time for lists hosted at yahoo.
