I don't have filter rules set up like that, and still have a problem.
Someone suggested that time of day could have something to do with it. I assume the link to time of day would be traffic related. That could be one issue to pursue.
When a message hits the list server, it has to be resent to all the subscribers. I assume that each message must be sent to each subscriber individually. With 500 subscribers, that's 500 copies to send. If the network down the line from the list server gets congested, there may be timeouts in the transmission that may cause some copies of the outgoing mails to be dropped. Depending on how far away from the list server this happens, users will be more or less randomly affected. There may of course also be more than one point of congestion.
There are many "if"s to this, but looking at the times messages come through and get lost could at least help to ask more qualified questions about why.
Any takers on the American East coast? :-)

Subject: Missing posts -a thought
Maybe it's, as I just found, a case of some posts are sent as replies to an original, with a copy to PDML? My mail rules are that, messages from Pentax-discuss go to a PDML folder, others in the address book go to my inbox, the rest are sent to the deleted folder. Thus, the afore-mentioned posts went in to the deleted folder, got threaded with the others, and then were deleted at the end of the session, as I always do.
Just a thought...
