I agree with you assessment, which is really confusing.

Sure, as I just replied to Don, a recent example is bug#1113916, which
you mentioned below, so continue there.

Yes, I receive the 3 acknowledgements that my emails had been received,
but I didn't receive any of the mail sent by Christian.  (As I mentioned
in my Reply to Don, I used the "reply" link to avoid breaking thread.)

I was about to make another theory that maybe the issue is related to
the debian.org domain somehow as I didn't receive anything from
Christian which uses @debian.org email, but this is actually false as I
actually received the mail from Don who also uses a @debian.org.  And of
course I received your email from a [email protected] email fine also.
So, still confused.

Let me know if there are other info that I can provide for debugging.
Thanks again!
