Subject: | FLASH: ADMIN: Double & triple posts...what to do? |
From: | List Owner |
Date: | Wed, 29 Sep 1999 19:34:11 +0100 |
Hiya Folks,
It appears a few people on the list have been receiving double and possibly
triple copies of posts to the list. I've been trying to figure out why this
is happening, but none of the usual reasons seem to be the cause. The
normal culprits are:
- you have two different email addresses subscribed to the list server
- a faulty email system is receiving messages and either sending them
straight back to the mailing list address or sending them directly to the
original poster of the message
The recent spate of double posts is very bizzarre as it doesn't seem to fit
either of these criteria. I've checked the email logs for the last couple
of days and the folks on the list who have been getting double (or more)
posts don't seem (according to the logs at this end) to be receiving any
more messages than anyone else. Perhaps they're the only ones experiencing
this.
To conserve bandwidth and to save extended discussion of this problem, can
I ask everyone who has a problem to email help

with the emails as quickly as possible, typically it's only taking a couple
of hours to respond to them at the moment. Please don't email the whole
list as your emails reach over 1,500 people...that adds up to a lot of hard
drive space and a lot of bandwidth.
...and another small plea...both flasher

flasher

email to both addresses it will reach the mailing list twice. Please use only:
flasher

OR
flasher

Sorry for the long email, any problems, don't forget send them to:
help

Hope you're all well.
