I have run a list for internal purposes for at least three or four years
that allows duplicate postings. This list is set so that anyone can post
messages to it, but its existence is hidden and it does not send out any
acknowledgement of any kind to those who send messages to it. This list is
intended for archiving certain log file entries and communications between
the individuals in my work group and it receives hundreds of messages a
week, as it has been doing for several years.  No problem.
