Tony, I think you need to review your Outlook rules. My duplications are produced in our mail server's mail sorting process, and the key is the presence of prefixes for both -users and -developers in the Subject: lines of the problem messages. Considering only the two copies from the Developers list, the divergence appears to be in our mail processing. The messages arrived our our world-facing machine with the same Exim Id: Received: from smtp-vbr8.xs4all.nl ([194.109.24.28]:3979) by entiat.olympus.net with esmtp (Exim 4.42) id 1FaYCW-0006pK-O1 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 01 May 2006 06:12:33 -0700 and Received: from smtp-vbr8.xs4all.nl ([194.109.24.28]:3979) by entiat.olympus.net with esmtp (Exim 4.42) id 1FaYCW-0006pK-O1 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Mon, 01 May 2006 06:12:33 -0700 (ie, the same). And having looked at the server logs, I now know what is happening in my case. I have our mail processing sort list mail into IMAP folders based on--in the case of these lists--the presence of the subject prefix, and these messages have prefixes for both lists in the Subject: header. So my copy for -users gets sorted into my folders for -users and for -developers, and my copy for -developers gets sorted into -users and into -developers. Note: the next revision of our mail processing will allow sorting based on arbitrary headers--the List- headers for example. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
