I've experienced this too, and they were definitely duplicates, but it wasn't isolated to the bacula-users list. Some of the messages had originated from my own net and never left the building. There were 50 or 60 duplicate messages with date time stamps spanning a couple of days. Upon examining full headers of two identical messages, it appeared to be some sort of snafu between my client and my server. Messages I had downloaded and that should have been tagged as downloaded somehow got downloaded again. Although the original headers and message-id (set by sendmail on the server) were identical, and the date time stamp was identical, the X-UIDL was different. I believe X-UIDL is written by Thunderbird, since it is sandwiched between X-Account-Key and X-Mozilla-Status in the headers. So, I am convinced that this was a network communication error or a Thunderbird bug, although I would certainly grant that there are other potential causes for this sort of thing. The fact that other people on the bacula-users list did not experience the same thing, and that I had messages duplicated that were totally isolated within my own net, makes it clear that it had nothing to do with the bacula-users list. So the same would apply to Mr. Harper. It's just a coincidence that it happened to both of us, but maybe that says something about the occasional frequency of this sort of problem. I can remember it happening once or twice in the past to me. --------------- Chris Hoogendyk - O__ ---- Systems Administrator c/ /'_ --- Biology & Geology Departments (*) \(*) -- 140 Morrill Science Center ~~~~~~~~~~ - University of Massachusetts, Amherst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------- Erdös 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
