I'm completely new to the nuances of peered lists. The list HISTORY has a number of peers and is currently experiencing the phenomena whereby when a message is posted to one of the peers the rest complain that the post they are to distribute is a duplicate. Attached below is an example of a typical complaint. Can anyone give me some direction on clearing this up? I would be greatly appreciated.

That is, a message with identical body (but possibly different headers) has been posted to the list recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have a good reason to resend this message to the list (for instance because half of the outbound spool files were lost in a disk crash at some intermediate node), please alter the message text in some way before resending it. Note that altering the "Subject:" line or adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is not sufficient; you should instead add a line at the top explaining why you are re-sending the message, for the benefit of the list membership. ------------------------- Rejected message (56 lines) ------------------------- Return-Path: <@RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU:[log in to unmask]> Received: from RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU (NJE origin MAILER@RUTVM1) by PSUVM.PSU.EDU (L Mail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 4202; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:42:15 -0400 Received: from RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@RUTVM1) by RUTVM1.RUTGERS .EDU (LMail V1.1d/1.7f) with BSMTP id 4404; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:42:04 -0400 Received: from RUTVM1.BITNET by RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU (LISTSERV release 1.7f) with NJE id 4475 for [log in to unmask]; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:42:01 -0400 Return-Path: <@RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU:[log in to unmask]> Received: from PSUVM.PSU.EDU (NJE origin MAILER@PSUVM) by RUTVM1.RUTGERS.EDU (LMail V1.1d/1.7f) with BSMTP id 4400; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:41:59 -0400 Received: from PSUVM.PSU.EDU (NJE origin LISTSERV@PSUVM) by PSUVM.PSU.EDU (LMail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 4117; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:41:50 -0400 Received: from PSUVM.BITNET by PSUVM.PSU.EDU (LISTSERV release 1.8a) with NJE id 6796 for [log in to unmask]; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:41:49 -0400 Return-Path: <[log in to unmask]> Received: from PSUVM (NJE origin SMTP@PSUVM) by PSUVM.PSU.EDU (LMail V1.2a/1.8a) with BSMTP id 4115; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 14:41:49 -0400 Received: from Tut.MsState.Edu by PSUVM.PSU.EDU (IBM VM SMTP V2R2) with TCP; Mon, 01 Aug 94 14:41:46 EDT Received: from Ra.MsState.Edu ([log in to unmask] [130.18.80.10]); by Tut.MsState.Edu using SMTP (8.6.9/6.5m-FWP); id LAA03663; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 11:58:35 -0500 Received: (djm1@localhost); by Ra.MsState.Edu (8.6.8.1/6.0c-FWP); id LAA28061; Mon, 1 Aug 1994 11:58:32 -0500 Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.history Date: Mon, 1 Aug 1994 11:58:32 -0500 Reply-To: History Discussion Forum <[log in to unmask]> Sender: History Discussion Forum <[log in to unmask]> Comments: Warning -- original Sender: tag was [log in to unmask] From: Don Mabry <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Africa X-LSVRepTo: X-LSVopts: ACK Org=HISTORY@RUTVM1 X-LSVvia: HISTORY@PSUVM HISTORY@RUTVM1 X-LSVTo: [log in to unmask] X-LSVTag: Return-Path: <[log in to unmask]> X-LSVTag: From: Don Mabry <[log in to unmask]> X-LSVTag: Date: Mon, 1 Aug 1994 11:58:32 -0500 X-LSVTag: Message-Id: <[log in to unmask]> X-LSVTag: To: [log in to unmask] X-LSVTag: Subject: Africa To: $PEER$ <[log in to unmask]> < Rest of message deleted >
