Has gmx sat on the mail for a while before sending it? This can happen
... expecially if one of "internet tubes" is clogged.

Messages should turn up eventually, but don't forget mail servers can
get clogged up. We're so used to immediate delivery we forget that
doesn't always happen.

I sometimes get messages back from lists saying random messages have
been held for moderation. I don't remember this happening here, but it can.

And again, I don't think it applies here, don't forget some lists will
look at the distribution list on the incoming mail, and not send the
outgoing message to those addresses. So you do not receive a copy of
your own emails.
