	You should get notices at the same time as you would get any 
other moderation notices.  So, if you have turned off 
admin_immed_notify (on the main web admin page for the list, about 
2/3 of the way down), you will only get them once a day.

	Otherwise, something else must be going on.

	Yes, see above.

	Hmm.  Strange.  Have you looked in your logs?  The 
troubleshooting recommendations at

won't be completely relevant to your question, but some of them may 
be useful.
