Emails from a particular company to one specific user on our system are 
disappearing at our server.  Emails from other sources come through to the 
user's IMAP box without incident.  Here's a log transaction of one that does 
NOT make it:

Here is one that DOES make it (to the same account):

router.starionhost.net[69.197.189.66]

Both "transactions" appear similar to me in terms of a "good" acceptance.  It 
appears that the server is accepting the message, but it is not making into the 
cyrus database?  The message isn't bouncing as far as I can tell.  All spam 
processing is done on an appliance in front of the Postfix server so it would 
appear that the spam appliance isn't blocking it.

I don't know where to go from here.  I'm marginally technical with Postfix and 
have been running a system for many years without too many challenges.  This 
one has me stumped, however.

Can anyone guide me through some further troubleshooting to see where these 
messages are going?  I can initiate the sending of the email that is failing 
from the sending companies website, but that's all the control I have over that 
end of it.
