There is a strange kind of filtering sometimes going on where either Gmail (my provider for @derekmail.com) or Yahoo or other lists don't show you your own posts if you sent them because it assumes you don't need to see them because they are already in your Sent Mail so you already have them.

This sometimes makes it seem as though your own outbound emails are not being received by your community, but in fact, they have. If people *respond* to your posts, then you can see that your original email went through by implication. But if nobody responds to your post, it can sometimes seem as though an email you sent to an email list never went out whereas it actually did.

Then, if you log in as a different user, you can see those missing posts.

I have no idea if this happened to you, but it can happen sometimes, and may explain some mysteries.
