Yes, it did come through. Your mail is probably bouncing back with an error that goes like "can't resolve your host name, blah blah..." It's nothing really bad, it's just that you're using a dialup or other setup that gives you a dynamic IP address, and the mail agent of hub.freebsd.org can't resolve your real hostname from your IP address. Set up your mailer to send mail to your ISP's mail gateway, which will allow relaying from it's clients, and then hub.freebsd.org will see your ISP's mail gateway as the origin of the mail and resolve that happily ever after.
