Yes, there are occassional breakdowns in the communications between the list remailers. The reason that there are several of them is if one goes down for more than a few minutes the whole lists doesn't go down which would occur if we were still on a single remailer.
I understand this rationale. But that doesn't explain what's happening to the missing messages. Is there a flaw in the distributor/reflector duplicate-filtering algorithms? Or is this a problem of certain messages being introduced into a node whose product does not get propagated to all subscribers of all the other nodes? Or are you saying that if ssz (say) goes down for a few minutes it forgets about any mail it has queued up for its counterparts at cyberpass and algebra (et al.)? -- Jeff
