We have identified an issue with an upstream email provider resulting in some posts not being delivered to the full intended subscriber list. It is effecting ~20% of large publications with an average impact of a 4-8% non delivered rate. We are working with the vendor to resolve the issue and will deliver all posts to impacted subscribers.
