It means exactly what it says.  The most common reason is that it has
reached the maximum number of msgs per day for which it is set.  The
list owner will eventually free it, probably in the morning, and your
msg will get tossed to the list.  If it is held for some other reason,
the listowner will deal with the problem when s/he can get to it.
