Here's a strange problem...
We use the IMail List Server (v.7.x) for a client that sends out regular
announcements to their members. This has always worked fine until
yesterday, when we hit the twilight zone. We sent out an announcement to a
list containing perhaps a hundred members. A number of people then reported
receiving 30-40 copies of the announcement. How could this happen?
I checked the list, and it doesn't show any duplicate names. Then I looked
at a typical duplicate message. Here is a sample header:

I also looked in the log file, but couldn't pick out anything obvious.
Any ideas on what could cause this or how to track it down?
Thanks,
