I've deleted the dupe's now, and didn't think to check the headers. I use Microsoft Outlook though, against a Microsoft Exchange server, so I'm fairly sure that the problem hadn't occurred at my end. I'll look into it further if it happens again though. I think what I saw was that about 10-20 messages which first appeared a week or so suddenly appeared in my inbox again. As someone suggested, the situation may be as follows: 1. Person A is subscribed to -users and -devel 2. Person B is subscribed to -users only 3. Person A cross-posts a message to -users and -devel 4. Person B does a 'reply all' to that message 5. The message goes to -users, but not to -devel as they are not subscribed so the messages are held in a 'pending moderation' queue instead. 6. Such messages accumulate over time, and at some point are released by a moderator 7. I see what looks like a bunch of duplicate messages in my inbox. They aren't eliminated by the normal duplicate detection because of the time lag between the original and the dupe. I'm making a few assumptions though about the way the list works, and the moderation process, and how my mail server handles duplicate messages. Assuming that my analysis above is right, is there a way to allow someone who is subscribed to at least one bacula- list to post to another without requiring a subscription? I guess that's a feature that sourceforge either has or hasn't, so the answer should be a simple one :) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
