Hmmmm...I am not sure. Unless there is some kind of limiter built

Yes...very true. This is puzzling. This could also be the result of
some kind of virus. Because in several of my other mail accounts I
have been getting duplicate emails from totally unrelated sources to
the newbie list. However one common factor has been that they were
either automated replies or from list servers. So could this be a new
virus? One that targets list servers?
But I would think that any server running on a unix or linux
derivative box would be immune.
Something else to ponder.
