I would like to provide an update to my issue. Apparently, both of my outgoing messages HAD been delivered. This evening, I was awfully surprised to get a response to the one I didn't resend! Apparently, what had been stuck were the messages coming BACK from those mailing lists that I hadn't received.
First, I apologize for earlier posting the same message twice to this mailing list. :-) Second, I expect this changes the list of potential issues. For one, I can guarantee that it wasn't a problem with the destination e-mail server - that server was working just fine during the time the e-mail was stuck.
