I am observing something similar; If I use my router (fritz.box) to send incoming fax by mail
to a given account on my server, the mail appears and instantly vanishes.
I then used a different mail account (completely different server/domain etc.) and the mail stays;
and then again, forwarding it a mail address of the domain where this weird behavior was seen,
the mail also arrives and disappears.
This issue roughly dates back to the beginning of this year; had no time to investigate yet...
