There are two main possibilities for the behaviour you describe:

- regexes have been updated to remove that annoying cycling data
- 2.3.8 is not sending mail (or you are not getting it).

A few simple questions to determine which it is:

- do you still receive other mail from rancid?
- are the line of interest appearing in rancid's output file? Do they
change there after you make a config change on the device?
