Hi Nicholas,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Sometimes our outgoing email will error on the first delivery attempt to the downstream server, then succeed on the second. (You don’t see the failed attempts in the message headers, only the success).

We’ll take measures to reduce the occurrence of this and/or make it retry more aggressively.
