[Elecraft] Repeat Postings
Can someone please tell me why we now appear to get numerous repeat copies of the complete digest listings. It is very tedious and time wasting. 73 Jim G4NWJ __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

I am also getting repeat postings. I hope this can be eliminated.

This happens to me quite often. I've found it is my ISP and it's not just Elecraft postings. I have to delete the postings via webmail otherwise they keep downloading scores of copies.

Assuming it isn't a deliberate denial of service attack, someone who doesn't know how to use their email client is trying to reply (or post by tail-ending) to a non-MIME list digest (or using a mail client with particularly poor MIME digest handling), without pruning it, and is failing to realise the havoc they are causing. I suspect it may prove necessary to bar them from the list. I'm not sure why we aren't getting the complete digest as I didn't think that gmail had particularly small size limits. non-MIME digests should only be used for replies as a last resort and only if you have a thorough understanding of the internals of internet email protocols. Whilst you can prune out the other articles, you will still break threading. -- David Woolley The Elecraft list is a forum for the discussion of topics related to Elecraft products and more general topics related ham radio List Guidelines http://www.elecraft.com/elecraft_list_guidelines.htm __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
