I think I found the issue, at least it seems to be the issue. If the build fails I attach the log file to the email so that we can see what the errors in the build were. I think the issue was that this log file was over 8MB in size and therefore the mail would not let it go. I reduced the size of the log file and it worked. So I changed the email so that it would not attach the log file, only point the user to it so that they can still view it.
I'll see how this works for now.

Same condition the log said it sent email but never saw in inbox IT suggested looking in the junk folder and what do you know there it was. Right clicking the email and selecting mark not as junk fixed the problem.

If you have ready access to the mail server logs, that may help. Who knows, it could be as simple as a spam filter on the server. Is it always the same one of the three that fails to send the email, or does it change? If it's the same one all the time, then the questions that come to mind are: 1. Are all three builds running under the same user account? 2. Are they all running the same initialization (i.e. setting properties and environment variables)? 3. Is it possible that the third build has the wrong mailhost, from address, or to list, if the answer to either of the first two questions is yes? If these don't help, then I suggest trying verbose mode on the builds. I'm not sure what the mail task display in verbose mode, but you may be able to compare the verbose output from both the good and bad emails to see if there's a difference.
