So, it seems that for the last few days I've been losing mail in my Google Apps mail account. This is pretty much my fault, probably; I have a weird mail system setup. But I don't know how best to solve it.

Does anybody happen to know/be a Google Apps dev/admin and can put me in touch with them? This is something of an emergency for me (losing email is serious business for me) and I need to be able to fix it.

It's come to my attention lately that I've been missing emails from some people. I'm not altogether sure why, or if there's a pattern to the mails I've missed. However, if you've sent me an email recently (evidence so far is suggesting that this has been happening for some time - at least since the end of June) and I haven't replied, it's quite probable that I simply haven't received it. I only became aware of this problem yesterday when one of the people asked me if I'd got his emails; I hadn't, at all.

It's weird because my logs clearly show that the emails in question were handled by my email server and forwarded on to my Google Apps account as they should be, but they never appeared in the account - not even in my Spam folder.

And I then realised there might be other people to whom this applied, too, so I checked my mail server logs for people who I had been expecting replies from, and indeed, they had sent me emails according to my logs, but I never saw them in my account.

If you've sent me anything since, say, the beginning of July, please leave me a note here; comments are screened for this purpose. If possible, please also try to resend the email and we'll see if those get through or not. (Please do remember to leave a comment here though or I might not know to recheck!)

This is just the latest in a series of problems with my email service, but moving is going to be difficult due to the sheer volume of email (mostly spam) that I get. I'm going to have to move though. (I'll still keep my email addresses, mind you.)
