I'm concerned that such a test was done on large list and without anyone available to fix problems. Thanks should go to network watchdog Bill Rubin. He go rid of many copies that hadn't been distributed yet, and contacted several Site Postmasters to try and slow the growth. I also find it strange that I got 28 copies, and only 4 of them came from my server, and the other 24 came from YALEVM. I thought the initial server determined all paths. The explanations I have heard for the fixes in FIX15M3 don't explain that. Harry
