Less than 24 hours.  This has happened a few times now-- I suspect it's 
an issue with my side, as a retest of the same message gets through just 
fine.  I've been very happy with the URIBL blacklist, just not so happy 
with a message false positiving when every URI in the message is quite 
clean...
