blogger "mail-to-blogger" feature stops working - marked as draft

If you used to be able to use the mail-to-blogger feature to email posts and have them publish directly to you blog, but now they don't publish and instead sit in your lists of posts as a draft, then your blog has been flagged as possible spam blog.

Why are all my posts being set to drafts? - http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1263

Edit just one draft and by the word verification area click the ? question mark. Blogger will review your blog to verify it's not spam and you'll be able to publish like you used to. I'm not certain what triggers blogger to mark the blog as spam, but this blog was marked and hopefully they'll review it and find it's nothing more than silly old me.
