Bon Matin All, I know it has little to do with LISTSERV or even the Gateway but I still wonder that user gets every single post via the News echo bounced as "already submitted" message. I think I've narrowed the problem (occuring since before I owned the list). > ------------------------ Rejected message (42 lines) -------------------------- > Return-Path: <[log in to unmask]> [...] > Received: (from smap@localhost) by ereapp.erenj.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) id NAA28211 for <[log in to unmask]>; Fri, 27 Dec 1996 13:43:59 -0500 > Received: from eredns.erenj.com(159.70.1.252) by ereapp.erenj.com via smap (V1.3) > id sma028187; Fri Dec 27 13:43:30 1996 > Received: from clnwww.erenj.com (clnwww.erenj.com [159.70.1.1]) by eredns.erenj.com (8.7.4/8.7.3) with ESMTP > id NAA08986 for <[log in to unmask] > Received: (from news@localhost) by clnwww.erenj.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) id NAA20392; Fri, 27 Dec 1996 13:43:25 -0500 (EST) > To: [log in to unmask] [...] > Newsgroups: bit.listserv.blues-l So: news -> clnwww -> eredns -> ereapp -> smap -> out to UUNET NNTP ESTMP SMA SMA -------------------------From the one that got distributed > Received: (from smap@localhost) by ereapp.erenj.com (8.8.3/8.8.3) id NAA28209 > for <[log in to unmask]>; Fri, 27 Dec 1996 13:43:59 > -0500 > Received: from unknown(159.70.37.160) by ereapp.erenj.com via smap (V1.3) id > sma028193; Fri Dec 27 13:43:39 1996 > Received: from fpenews.ere.exxon.com ([159.70.32.152]) by ereweb.ere.exxon.com > (post.office MTA v1.9.3 ID# 0-10256) with SMTP id AAA73 for > <[log in to unmask]>; Fri, 27 Dec 1996 13:43:32 -0500 So: fpenews -> ereweb =? unknown 159.70.37.160 -> ereapp -> smap -> out to UUNET ??? SMTP SMA SMA I've selected 3 possibilities: 1) They have 2 news server and they mirror each other on the way out and each one sends a copy to the news group moderator (ie the list) 2) One News server has not the newsgroup as list-moderated and thus create a new article intead of forwarding to the moderator. 3) NS Gold News window does a Re:Both sending one copy via NNTP and another via [log in to unmask] (maybe a user configuration problem, like some kind of address book) One fact is certain 2 copies get out of the user domain ... (and oth have the save Message ID, I checked) Does any of that make sense to any of you ? Or can someone offer me some other possibility ? Thanks in advance. -- Eric Paul-Hus, BLUES-L
