However it does not occur consistently with all peered lists, nor even all the time with LSTOWN-L (which is peered between PEACH and SEARN) nor with LSTSRV-L (which is peered between PEACH, SEARN, and UGA). Unfortunately, with the decline in the number of peered lists and the press of other development efforts fixing this is not at the top of the priority list. The known workarounds for this minor inconvenience are a) put up with it/ignore it b) use your delete key to eliminate extra acknowledgement messages c) subscribe to the peer list with NOMAIL NOACK settings
