=>Every now and then, messages posted to my mailing list don?t reach everyone.
=>Someone commented they sometimes see a message that is a reply to a message
=>from the list they hadn?t received. I?ve seen this happen too. I keep a
=>couple of addresses subscribed and every now and then check the other. This
=>evening, I found 4 messages sent this afternoon that reached my yahoo
=>account but not my home account. A later message today reached me fine. The
=>missing mails aren?t in my sp @
 m folder. Someone else mentioned they hadn?t
=>had mails from the list for ages, then suddenly some recent ones reached
=>him.
=>
=>It seems an intermittent problem and worries me as it means some of us are
=>missing out. And it?s unpredictable. Has been happening a long time ? at
=>least a year.
=>
=>I googled ?missing messages majordomo? and found one thread saying it could
=>be to do with queueing. I haven?t a clue what this is so don?t know how to
=>establish if this is the cause nor what to do about it.
=>
=>What do you think may be happening?
=>How can I sort it out?
=>
=>I can bet I?ll get no-where with my host provider ? anything I ask about
=>majordomo gets the answer along the lines of, ?This is a scripting problem.
=>We do not provide support for scripting.?
=>
=>So I?d value your help with diagnosis and treatment.
=>
=>Thanks

Probably not a great place to say this but you should look at Majordomo2. 
It's written in perl. It's a total rewrite of the old mj. I promise you'll 
like it.
