all i can say is that ghosted problems exist in the vger setup.  in the
last 4 years i've been using vger lists, linux-kernel in particular, mail
is always lost.  replies to posts show up, but the original never shows. 
the delay is also very apparent.

several attempts have been made to find and fix it, but the bug hasn't
been quashed yet.

a short while back i had to send 5 subscribe emails over a period of a
week.. the last one finally worked.  shrug, it's better than nothing.
