The problem is that in the past I observed a lot of encoding errors with
perfectly valid mails and names.  It just happens that names contain
non-ASCII characters and the mails are in different encodings than
UTF-8.  I would like you to check the logfiles for such cases carefully
because I'm pretty sure we are missing a certain amount of valid mails
if we simply continue parsing and do not try other means to correctly
parse this message.  The same might be true for subjects - specifically
for non-English lists.

IMHO the best way to find this out is to pick about 20 specific messages
in different mboxes for each type of problem and inspect the mail
carefully.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
