Duplicate messages from RT-Users@lists.bestpractical.com

Am I the only one getting duplicates (in which case my server has a problem) or are others getting duplicates as well.

If one or two of you could reply that would be great thanks…

Thanks Paul.

Here are the headers from a single message I sent. From the headers it is clear that your MTA had submitted this message twice to your mailman installation. You may need to check on your queues and trouble shoot why the MTA thought it needed to resubmit the message.

I’m getting duplicates of some messages, but not of other messages.

Oddly for example, your original message asking about duplicates, I only received once. But your reply to yourself about some folks getting duplicates and others not getting duplicates, I got two. So I don’t think it’s sender-specific, nor recipient-specific.

All in all, I’d agree the list is indeed doing something odd.

You happened to submit mail while mailman was acting grumpy and
causing duplicate mails. It should have been resolved yesterday
evening.
