What is that about? Could it be related to me getting delayed second copies of
stuff?
It happens because there’s some older mail clients being used which incorrectly
parse the email address and create the gene...@classiccmp.org address when
replying.
The problem with the duplicate messages is because messages from the cctalk
list are also relayed to the moderated cctech mailing list, and vice-versa.
What happens is the messages from cctalk go over to cctech, get approved, and
then get sent back to the cctalk list. From my understanding of the mailing
list software being used, it doesn’t have any built-in facility to prevent
duplicates by checking for messages with the same Message-ID, and would require
someone to spend a little time to cobble a helper script together, but no-one
has yet, so the message duplication has continued for a year or so now.
How about just stop the relaying...?
