Well, it's true that I don't understand the concept, but that's not the problem. The problem is that I'm both subscribed _and_ not subscribed to the Swedish version of the list. I suspect it's a problem with the way the lists are shared, because (AFAIK) I never subscribed to the Swedish list (and the listserv there confirms that). > You should send your mail to the peer you are subscribed to, not > both of them or the non-subscribed one. (If you're getting double > acks you may be subscribed to both peers, one with NOMAIL, the > other with MAIL.) Nope. The explanation of why the list continues to be peered seems a little, well, wistful to me: > This was a lot more important 10 years ago than it is now because > the point was to save bandwidth by sending a single copy of list > mail across the transatlantic line to be "burst" by the peer for > people on the peer's side of the pond.
