I tried it again with phpbbstafftest3, phpbbstafftest4 and phpbbstafftest5 using spread out times, only the last one arrived at that service. As I noted above you are probably hitting email quota limit which can explain inconsistencies. Not possible. Also all accounts went through to the forum.
First fix your captcha settings and use the Q&A, besides reducing emails sent it will stop a lot of spam registrants. Fixed
Disable the ability of user to send email through the board on the email settings page. This must be set in order to utilize the Contact UsNext under Permission roles heading select user roles. Make sure each role has email functionality set to never, there is two of them. Repeat for forum roles, there is one permissions for this. Make sure you are using never. DoneEnable contact page:
This page allows users to send emails to board administrators. Please note that board-wide emails option must be enabled as well. You can find this option in General > Client Communication > Email settings.
This is what I would advise regardless of your issue. The captcha you are using has been broken for more than a decade and is useless. The email functionality opens you up to being spam relay. Done
