I used the bts command to send the mail so I'm going to assume it was
correctly constructed.

My smarthost provider confirmed that it was not stuck on their server
due to greylisting. The mail was greylisted at 06:58 UTC, but went
through at 07:07 UTC. My local time is UTC+2. It thus took 43 minutes
to reach the smarthost (I don't know why), but after it got to
bugs.debian.org, it took about 5 hours for it be acted on.

Because bts doesn't save a copy of the mail anywhere, I don't have a
copy of the sent mail, but log files indicate the Message-Id may have
been [email protected]. I hope that helps.
