Sporadic failures, especially on a single topic, imply that something in the content may triggered the taboo filter (though often that takes out replies, too, which this doesn't seem to have done). -Peff ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2017-01-31 20:27 Subject: Re: vger not relaying some of Junio's messages today?

I think I figured this out yesterday. It was a dot somewhere in the name of a recipient on To:/Cc: line that is NOT double-quoted. For this thread, brian's human-readable name "brian m. carlson" was double-quoted in the original I responded to and it also was double-quoted in my response. But there was another recipient with a dot after the middle initial, which was NOT double-quoted in the original. My response seems to have been eaten because that name was not double-quoted. I saw that happen yesterday in another thread with the same recipient, and resent with the only change to double-quote that name and it went through. ```
