I'm afraid not.  The second cause of lost events was in the section of
the email which you chopped -- which explains that Asterisk only tries
to write for a limited period of time, then gives up.  A buffer would
help to mitigate this problem, by allowing an event generator to return,
even when Asterisk is not immediately able to send to the remote
manager (but the event is queued up and reliably sent).
