receiving multiple postings

[Thomas Lovie]

In a possibly related issue to receiving late postings, I often receive the
same posting twice.

Message headers from an example of this behaviour are included below.  I'm
no mail expert, but looking at the 3th from the top 'Received:' section, the
message is received by blueraja.scyld.com from the sender's system, with
ESMTP id AAA06843, in both the first and second messages.  Then, in the 2nd
from the top 'Received:' section, you see that the blueraja.scyld.com hands
the message back to itself, but the first and second message have different
ESMTP id fields, as well as different timestamps, leading me to believe
blueraja.scyld.com is somehow processing the message twice.

I wanted to post this to the list since, I wanted to see if this behaviour
is unique to me, tlovie at pokey.mine.nu, or if others on the list see the same
behaviour.  I tried describing this problem to: listadmin at scyld.com, but
received no response.

Best regards,
Thomas Lovie
