This particular issue has me perplexed. I had a call from a user who is subscribed to a list in regular/non-digest mode. He received a message in digest mode, a day later than when it was sent, which is what should happen with digests. However, as I said, he is not on digest. I checked logs and his status hasn't changed in the last 30 days. Others on the list received it yesterday.

What might be going on here?

If he switched his membership from digest to non-digest, or even inadvertently switched from non-digest to digest and then immediately reversed, he would have been flagged for "one_last_digest" and been sent the next digest. These switches would not have been logged by Mailman. However, the digest would have been sent at the same time as everyone else's.

If you have access to the actual message he received, check the Received: headers and see how and when it was delivered to him. It could have been sent to him by another list member.
