Lost mail from distribution list

I don't know about anyone else but I need a little more information in order to understand just how Demon and Pegasus Mail are working.  When I see the term "Demon aliases"  I picture multiple alias email addresses dumping into a single Demon mailbox.  Is this correct or is Pegasus Mail accessing multiple Demon mailboxes?

Also, clarity is needed on how you are using Pegasus Mail as two users.  You mention two Pegasus Mail users but then reference the inability of Pegasus Mail rule filters to copy both users.  When there are two Pegasus Mail users, each user should be running their own instance of Pegasus Mail.  In a multi-user environment, the only way a rule can transfer a message to another mailbox is with a forward to that user or email address.

We have Pegasus 4.52 running in Windows 10, with multiple Demon aliases.  My husband and I both subscribe to a particular distribution list.  When this works properly, a full set of all the messages from the distribution list should be delivered to each of us.  Recently, I realised that neither of us was getting the full set of messages.  Some of the messages were only going to him, and some were only going to me.  None of the messages got to both of us, but between us we had the full set.  We don't have Content Control or Spamhalter switched on, as Demon's spam control is working pretty well.  I've checked with the listadmin, who said that as far as he could see, we were each being sent a copy of each message.

I have problems when someone sends a single mail addressed to both of us, since I can't find a way of setting up a mail rule that uses Boolean operators (e.g. if a mail is sent to n1 and n2, then copy to n1, copy to n2, then delete mail).  But each mail from the distribution list should come as two mails, one for him and one for me, so shouldn't be affected by this problem.  Unfortunately, Pegasus's log file syslog.pm doesn't seem to be being created properly, as it's not where it's supposed to be and the only copy I can find is an old one.  The system messages window doesn't say which rule is being invoked when messages are assigned to different mailboxes, so it doesn't tell me what's really going on.

Is this familiar to anyone?  Could the mail be going missing somewhere within Demon before it gets to Pegasus?
