Bon Matin All,
 
I know it has little to do with LISTSERV or even the Gateway
but I still wonder that user gets every single post via the
News echo bounced as "already submitted" message. I think I've
narrowed the problem (occuring since before I owned the list).

So: fpenews -> ereweb =? unknown 159.70.37.160 -> ereapp -> smap -> out
to UUNET
      ???        SMTP                             SMA        SMA
 
I've selected 3 possibilities:
 
1) They have 2 news server and they mirror each other on the way out and
each
one sends a copy to the news group moderator (ie the list)
 
2) One News server has not the newsgroup as list-moderated and thus
create a
new article intead of forwarding to the moderator.
 
3) NS Gold News window does a Re:Both sending  one copy via NNTP and
another via [log in to unmask] (maybe a user
configuration
problem, like some kind of address book)
 
One fact is certain 2 copies get out of the user domain ...
(and oth have the save Message ID, I checked)
 
Does any of that make sense to any of you ?
Or can someone offer me some other possibility ?
 
Thanks in advance.
