We had this problem twice now on our list. Suddenly old postings
start being distributed again. On March 16th, about 25 postings from
the previous week were distributed within minutes. Some subscribers
thought they were suffering from deja-vu...
The list was on HOLD for a day and the problem was gone.
I have now set Daily-Threshold to 20 (we rarely have more than 10
postings per day) in case it happens again.
What can I do to prevent this from happening again? We also have
Loopcheck=Full but that did not prevent it.
The header of one of those re-distributions is below. Note that
there are two "Approved-By" lines, the second one with the list
address. Does this mean that the second time around the posting
apparently came from this address, which was faked by a malfunctioning
mail server? But that address is not a subscriber so the posting
should have gone to the Editor address.
I thought we had set up the list with all safeguards in place.
It worries me that this can happen. Biomch-L has almost 4000
subscribers, so the potential impact of these problems is huge.
