I don't know whether it's a hiccup in the network or what, but I've had several complaints from folks on mailing lists I've run that I've been sending them multiple copies lately, as well as having many multiple copies sent /to/ my server. >From what I've been able to determine, in almost every case the network latency has been so bad or the connection quality so intermittent that the remote server sends the message, it is accepted on my end, and then the connection drops before I can acknowledge receipt to the remote server. They assume I didn't get it, and attempt to resend. It seems to be happening in a lot of places - I've seen it with verizon, att, digex, and others over the past couple of weeks. Anyway. Now, to go from one off topic to another - is there any movement on the "qpopper-announce" front? I want to stay up to date on qpopper, but not if it means having to wade through all of these completely offtopic posts and jaunts into basic SMTP vs. POP education... ;) Steve -- hesketh.com/inc. v: (919) 834-2552 f: (919) 834-2554 w: http://hesketh.com
