We've had a similar, possibly related, problem with the code4lib list in the past.  Perhaps the same problem occurs with the wiki email.

The issue occurs when an email is sent out to a person, claiming to be from that person.  Postini sees that and interprets it as an attempt to spoof email headers and rejects the email.  There is no sign of the email in the persons folders. (There is a more general case of postini seeing email for someone in a company claiming to be from that company and it again rejects the email.  That was our code4lib problem where messages from anyone else at OCLC failed to reach the rest of the OCLC subscribers.  Worse yet, the mailing list manager counts those rejections and would unsubscribe us after some number of rejections was reached.)

Just a thought.  Emails disappearing completely is unusual.

Same for me.  I checked the spam, junk and trash folders, and even the Code4Lib folder, thinking the routing rule might have put it there.
