If you have an idea on how to debug something like that, please let me know,
I'm all ears ... everyone blamed it on the 'duplicate posting suppression' in
Majordomo2, so we removed that ... personally, I think it was the wrong thing
to do, since now I'm seeing a whack of duplicate postings being held up in the
moderators queue for stuff that I know already went through ...

The only way that I can think of to 'track' missing emails is to try and track
them through the mail log(s) ... but, we need to know the message-id of the
sent email ... our log files for mail go back ~7 days, so we have a fair range
of time to look back, but the closer to 'recent' the better ...

it should be, but postfix is setup with a content_filter to send the email(s)
through MAIA for virus/spam filtering, and the content_filter is both inbounce
and outbound ... that is where it was getting backlogged, not in postfix itself

I'll pass on your comment ... the documentation is 'internal', and very
extensive (almost overwhelmingly so at times) ... but, did you check out
<http://www.mj2.org/csf/> ... ewww, even those pages leave alot to be desired
...
