Because of the volume and type of messages it may be that some of them are 
getting flagged as spam/bulk mail by Google.  (or any other provider).   
Sometimes even tho they don't show up in the spam folder, they could be delayed 
by Google (or other mail host) blocking the first attempt to send the message, 
but letting subsequent requests thru (because spammers rarely retry sending).  

It's annoying...  but, if anyone has any list messages that end up in their 
spam folders it's super important you flag it as not spam to train Google that 
it's not junk. 😊

This has been a sporadic issue for me that seems to be getting worse.  
Previously the missing messages were primarily from Yahoo addresses and getting 
incorrectly marked as spam for what appeared to be SPF reasons.  This is a 
Google header parsing/spam routing bug (even if you have rules to deliver these 
messages anyway!) and I still have to go retrieve those periodically although 
less often lately.

Currently some replies are being delivered hours or days before the originating 
message.  Sometimes the originating message is not delivered at all.  I'd have 
to see John's MTA logs to know why but as someone whose professional 
responsibilities include deliverability of messages with rewritten headers I've 
seen comparable problems when the receiving MTA is greylisting delivery 
attempts due to bad heuristics.

Both you and I are using Google mail infrastructure so that might be the 
commonality to start pointing fingers.
