At a not-entirely-wild guess, based on replies to your recent couple of
posts, the messages that went astray were the direct mail copies that
never passed through the list in the first place. I use an almost
identical recipe myself (and a matching one for psql-admin) and I don't
recall seeing stray mail since the list platform migration.
I catch most of those direct-mail copies with this addition:
:0
* ^TO_pgsql-.*@(lists.)?postgresql.org
$DEFAULT/.postgres/
Personally, I try to keep mail to any of the lists I read purely on-list
unless a personal CC has been explicitly asked for.
