There have been a few times over the past year where the mailer 
daemon on the server gets starved for resources and dies, but 
usually restarting the daemon or server causes all of the messages
to subsequently go out.  I haven't heard any cases of people
not receiving their messages.

I also know that yahoo.com likes to reject emails coming from
my server -- they claim that it's been used to relay spam (which
I'm fairly certain it has not).  All of my attempts to contact
Yahoo to get it resolved end up in this sequence:
   (1)  fill in the online form indicated in their log message
   (2)  get a response saying they'll contact me in 48 hours
   (3)  about 48 hours after that, receive another response
        telling me to use the form I filled out in step #1
   (4)  repeat

Anyway, if anyone notices missing email (digest or otherwise), 
please let me know and I'll check into it further.
