Digging through logs (and believe me, I did some digging), I find this:

This is in the SpamDetect handler that goes through a message, and it's
complaining about your "*fuck*" regular expression. This is the same
time that you injected your test message:

Clear the spam filters or use only valid regular expressions, and I
imagine everything should work. All of the messages for epix-users were
shunted, however we vacuum the shunt queue rather regularly because of
so many poorly encoded messages ending up there. I'm not sure we can
recover them.
