Barry is correct. You can verify whether or not this is the reason by
looking in the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file. If
the 'missing' messages are not in the HTML archive because of
duplicate message-ids, they will be in the
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file and you can also
search for possible dup message-ids.

If the missing posts are not in the
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file, the only other
thing I can think of is that someone set the lists archive setting to
'No' prior to the message on the 3rd and it was set back to 'Yes'
after the 5th.

Note that even if you don't write the
archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox because of
ARCHIVE_TO_MBOX being set to other than 2, you can still search the
post log for duplicate message-ids.
