Stacey, you are confused.
"ba-autox-digest" receives ALL messages to ba-autox@autox.team.net. One
should not send anything directly to ba-autox-digest (in fact, I think such
messages fail). I was subscribed to both for a while and can attest to
zero loss.
There is a COMPLETELY separate mailing list called autox. All messages to
autox@autox.team.net will also go to the "ax-digest" list.
There is no crossover between the two lists unless someone explicitly
addresses a message to both lists (something I'd recommend against, BTW).
If you were subscribed to both ba-autox *AND* autox, and comparing the total
number of messages there to those seen in ba-autox-digest, of course there
would appear to be some missing in the digest.
