I guess the compund "checked that I was still subbed [implicitly == checked for nomail, etc]" and "not being caught in a discard file" does equal delivery enabled when I had mentioned I was the only one not receiving posts [ie, delivery is globally enabled if Im the only one not getting them, and locally enabled as I am subbed and not blocked or discarded]".

I did that (but did not mention it, as...), but it never made it to the MTA for my address. WTH? I can think of no possible way for just one address of no special significance other that it is also listowner to archive as if delivered, but never to make it to the MTA or even to be logged by mailman... -- Yours, J.A.
