On Thu, Dec 01, 2005 at 11:59:41AM -0500 I heard the voice of Chuck Swiger, and lo! it spake thus: > > I've asked postmaster@ about this, and there are mechanisms in place > which are supposed to merge the two names to avoid duplicate > postings, but some messages seem to get missed. Interestingly enough, there seems to be a pattern to it. All the places where somebody starts duplicating happen when somebody (a) is using KMail, and (b) replies to a message to 'current@' (never to freebsd-current@), it will set the To: to freebsd-current@, and leave current@ in the CC list. It doesn't happen every time those conditions are met, especially if current@ is sandwiched somewhere among other headers. Rather odd; maybe some "list reply" sort of feature in KMail? jhb seems to get bitten by it with some regularity. -- Matthew Fuller (MF4839) | fullermd@over-yonder.net Systems/Network Administrator | http://www.over-yonder.net/~fullermd/ On the Internet, nobody can hear you scream.
