Well definitly a random problem.  Maybe I'm just hitting a high point in the
random incident generator.

Every message I email I BCC myself on.  I've never missed one of those.  I don't
believe my ISP is filtering outbound email.  It does filter in bound email, but
only by placing the prefex [Bulk] to the subject.

I also filter my mail with Mail.app and ThunderBird's Junk mail filter, but I've
never had a lugnet post appear in the Junk folder.  I retain the last week of
posts, so I checked and could not find any of the missing auth messages in those
folders.

This is the most recent post that had the original message go missing:

http://news.lugnet.com/org/ca/rtltoronto/?n=13856

I don't know how hard it would be to search for two copies of this message in
the in bound mail, but I did a resend of this message so the text should be
exactly the same.  The one thing I might have done is removed .technic the
second time I sent it.

I also haven't had any complains from people not being able to reach me through
email.

I recently changed my email address from the rogers domain to the djr domain.
But that was a few months ago now.  I haven't had this problem again until
recently.
