The queued posts for [log in to unmask] are being duplicated.  So far
it seems that at least part of the queue has been replicated three times.
With a message volume of 30 to 50 messages a day this is promising to be
quite alot of traffic, particularly if it continues over the weekend.  Since
I haven't been deleting bouncing addresses while the queue was distributed,
this is also greatly multipling the error messages.  The headers show
replicates leaving L-Soft at different times, though some are within the
same minute:
 
Received: from vms.dc.lsoft.com by VMS.DC.LSOFT.COM (LSMTP for OpenVMS v1.1a)
 with SMTP id <[log in to unmask]>; Thu, 21 Nov 1996 05:45:35 -0500

etc.
 
Is there any chance at all of turning this off?  How about deleting all
enqueued messages with dates earlier than Nov. 21?  Just checking.
 
Our Usenet mirror bit.listserv.transplant however, is not distributing
duplicates.  American.edu was also receiving posts throughout the Bitnet and
PSUVM problems.  All the duplicates I've seen were originally Netnews posts.
 
Thanks,
