Various bloggers in the Google Blogger Help forums are stating
As of 11:00 8/22, there are no confirmed affinities to the problem. Some, but not all, complaints appear to relate to email from phone and PDAs - possibly because more people use MTB from phones and PDAs. And, the outage is not 100% - I personally have posted to my test blog, twice with no problem.
In my case, I initially tested yesterday, and got an immediate email bounce.
I went to Settings - Email, then verified and Re Saved my settings. I sent MTB Test 20080821-2, which posted fine. And ditto for this morning with MTB Test 20080822-1.
Unfortunately, re Saving may not be a 100% effective solution.

None of my mail-to-blogger posts are making it to my blogs. And it is not till I actually go onto my blog and discover that all the emails I have done over the past 48 hours have not made it.

I tried publishing by e-mail a second time, no luck. I then tried doing what you did - opening my settings, confirming publish by e-mail, saving settings, and then publishing again for a third time. No luck.
The most frustrating part is the lack of response to this issue from Blogger. I am pleased to find this blog as it does, indeed, provide "the real Blogger status. Thanks.
