Maybe it was all spam? :-)

So you are judging that based on the original date headers in the emails
you are receiving? And you are on multiple email lists that send a
relatively steady flow of messages?

Pretty much anything short of a 5xx permanent failure or a special case
condition (like "MX loops back to me") ought to cause the sending MTA to
queue the message for a later retry.

Maybe you just need to wait longer? (Though by now you should be seeing
at least some retries.)
