He says he re-sent.  I only see the one copy.  So I'm guessing the first 
copy did simply disappear into the aether, and it's the re-send we are 
seeing.

Of course where in the aether it went is open to question.  My theory 
assumes it actually got to the listserv and it dropped the first post.  
But without access to the listserv logs (assuming it logs such drops), we 
don't know.

It's possible the admins aren't aware of it either, if it's a default 
setting.  But if they have logging turned on and can spare the time to go 
looking thru what I'm sure is a mountain of spam-drops for the one or two 
dropped messages from Gene, /that/ would answer the question.

But now that it seems to be working, I'm not sure it's really worth the 
trouble.  Of course, if as he says (and my theory posits), it happens 
regularly after he hasn't posted to the list for awhile, it could be 
worth investigating.  But repeating the experiment with that theory in 
mind, which will of necessity take a few more months of no posting and 
then posting again, would add some repeatability data.  It may be worth 
waiting for that before bothering the admins, and chalking it up to 
happenstance (and /not/ bothering the admins) if after a few months off 
it doesn't repeat.

Regardless, it's all up to Gene and whether he decides to pursue it now 
or wait, at this point, especially since it seems to be working /now/.
