I think you'd need to provide some examples/logs for someone else to
figure that out, but a few things spring to mind:

On a *network* messages could get deferred if they couldn't be delivered
to another computer because it wasn't reachable at the time, or it
specifically responded that it couldn't accept delivery.  Or, if a DNS
server doesn't provide an answer for the domain attempting to be
e-mailed, at the time.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
