It's hard to say. The two messages sent by Bob Philips
<jagcat..><br>
sent Feb 1 are defiantly two separate submissions as the date and<br>
time are different (18 minutes apart), as well as the message ID,
etc.<br>
The Major attributes this to the sender's phenomena you
describe.<br><br>
The two messages by Lemurstew@xxx.xxx (I don't know why AOL users<br>
never include their real names) sent Feb 2 appear to be one message<br>
that was sent out 10:50 EST and then returned, resubmitted, or<br>
redirected by an automatic mailer at 7:52 PST (2 minutes later) by a<br>
"mail pickup service" at postini.com or apci.com. The
only subscriber<br>
with that domain is BINGHAS@xxxx.xxx. Searching the Major's
files<br>
it appears that BINGHAS has never contributed to the SER1 list, but<br>
has redirected 63 duplicate messages since Oct 13, 2004, most likely<br>
unknowingly through a "feature" or misconfiguration of his
email server<br>
(not all SER1 messages are being redirected). In any case,
BINGHAS<br>
has been eliminated from the list (BOINK!!) and is encouraged to<br>
review his email settings before resubscribing.<br><br>
