Is that OS 10.4.0? Or some later dot-release?

I aask because I have had the identical thing happen to me.
I have 10.4.9.
I use DSLExtreme.com as an ISP, so it seems it's not the ISP driving 
these routing errors. And if not the ISP, who?

I have had identical routing errors happen, and it's totally 
unexplainable to me.
My ISP has a WebMail area set up for it's members, which up to now I 
have never used, and it was only when I went there that I found all 
these missing messages. Like you, originally one person was shunted 
aside to the ISP's Junk folder. Now it contains messages from various 
people...
Like you, I had NOT filtered any of these folks, so what's happening?

I use Mosilla's SeaMonkey suite for my email and internet handling 
application, not Apple Mail, so that's totally different, too.

I'm totally puzzled by this David. Makes no sense to me at all.
I have nowhere logical to turn for answers, either...
Seemingly, the only similar items we both use is an Apple Macintosh 
computer, and Apple's OSX Tiger operating system.
