A few days ago I got a report of duplicated e-mail messages from our ROOTS-L list to a recipient served by the LISTSERV at UKACRL. The recipient said it looked like the duplication was happening before the mail got to UKACRL. Indeed, I checked with three other ROOTS-L susbscribers with AC.UK addresses and two immediately responded that they have been getting duplicates too (the original person had gotten NINE copies of one item but usually didn't get than many copies). According to a debug distribute job the AC.UK mail is distributed by LISTSERV@UKACRL which in turn gets routed from here through [log in to unmask] Overnight I received a duplicate copy of the digest of the RECMGMT list out of SUVM. I have seen files duplicated when an NJE link over TCP/IP is unstable - the duplication is more likely because the final ack takes relatively longer than the other transfers (if I remember right). But I don't know if this is a BITNET or LISTSERV Backbone or local phenomenon. I don't have a good working link monitor here so for all I know it could be our link to UIUCVM42 that is doing this. But I only found one case in the past 36 hours where that link was restarted. I will include some of the node contacts in a blind carbon copy in case they have seen anything. Thanks for any observations you can share.
