The question is not really that complex and I (perhaps mistakenly) thought
it would be of interest to the PostgreSQL community. Maybe I'll try
resubmitting a part of the question.

Regardless, you don't address why the email I sent disappeared into the
ether. If it was rejected due to excessive length, then it would be polite
to get an automated rejection. Perhaps something like

"Your message is too long and so is being rejected. Messages to the ...
mailing list need to be under x lines"
