Dear Lowlanders,<br>
<br>
Susan Smith of LINGUIST (our list server hosts) responded to our reports of
duplicate mail delivery.<br>
<br>
As you can see (below) she and I suspect the same cause.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron<br>

I checked the logs for the 19th, when Carolyn mentions that she saw a duplicate
posting. They look fine, nothing out of the ordinary... I didn't see any
duplicates in the archives, which leads me to think that the problem isn't
happening on listserv's end.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
Here's some possible causes that were mentioned in the Listserv Owner's mailing
list archives:</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
"The subscriber's email service reports a temporary delivery failure to
the LISTSERV mail handler (which will retry later) but actually accepted the
mail. Some spam-defense strategies sometimes work like this."</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
(Listserv said that all of the delivery errors on the 19th were not permanent,
however I guess this scenario could have occurred, because a permanent error
would mean the message was never delivered.)</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">

It's all pretty involved, however it sounds like the problem probably has to do
with the recipients' mail providers, so I'm not sure if it's a big enough
problem to get into contacting their providers etc. If you had copies of
some of the duplicated messages, I could look at their headers to see where the
problem is occurring (or try to see, anyways). I hope this makes sense,
although it's not terribly helpful. Let me know if there's anything more
I can do, or if you'd like me to look at some of the duplicate messages.</span><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">
