Hi all-

 

It seems that some people are getting duplicate posts, and some dupes are even getting posted to our archive. I've not seen this before.

 

I am wondering (not being a *mail* admin-type) if it is possible that some subscriber's mal-configured mail system could be wreaking havoc here. It seems many (if not all) of the dupes seem to be from him.

 

Here are the leading headers in the web archive for one of the duplicate posts - the first looks mnormal, the second so very weird. Since I know very little about how mail works, any insight would be most appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Shannon  :-)
