Andy,
I've been getting these emails, as well as anything sent to my
@alum.wpi.edu forwarding address multiple times. Looking at and comparing
the message headers, it would appear that mcafee.wpi.edu might be the
culprit as it's the point in the chain of mail relays where timestamps start
changing. Maybe it's in a forwarding loop or it's mail queue is hosed
somehow so that it thinks messages haven't been delivered yet, so it
retries. *shrug* Glad to know that I'm not the only one seeing this
problem, it's been happening since Friday and is driving me batty. Anyone
else at WPI have an idea what might be going on or is experiencing this
issue?
Dave

I haven't actually seen duplicate messages, very likely due to this
useful procmail rule:
:0 Wh: msgid.lock
| formail -D 16384 $HOME/.msgid.cache
It stops the same message (based on message id) from being received
multiple times, which is very useful if people (for instance) respond
to both you and a list you read, you'll only get the mail once.

I too have been driven to the brink of sanity by this for the past couple
days. Rock on. ;-)

HI everybody,
I've just sent e-mail to Chuck and Frank to see if they can help remedy the
"echo" situation. Thank you for your patience, and my apologies (in advance)
if you get 14 copies of this. :-)
Later,
Andy
