These are defaults for new members, the ones below apply.

It may. If the user is in the habit of CCing him/herself on posts to
the list, nodupes will supress the post from the list.

If your own address is not mentioned in any To: or Cc: header, not
metoo is not set for you, and everyone else received the post, then I
don't know. Do you have access to Mailman's logs? If so, you can check
the bounce log to see if the delivery to you bounced. You can also
check the smtp log to see how many recipients there were and compare
that to the number of non-digest subscribers with delivery enabled to
see if any are missing.

You aren't a digest subscriber by any chance?
