I am *very* concerned about the annoyance this sort of thing causes our
readers. All three issues were automatically remailed when Mailer-Daemon
*claimed* it was unable to process < output to the list. Now according to
Jon Solomon, trusted advisor to your Moderator, and technical advisor par
excellence, 'you can't be responsible for every mailier in the country'.
It would seem perhaps one of the various expansion lists we mail to is
timing out before completing the job, then sending a message back to ME
saying the output messed up.
I have a couple of control names/addresses in the list so that the Digest
will reach me at different mailboxes via circuitous routings, and likewise
Jon Solomon receives the Digest in his personal mailbox using the same kind
of routing technique. This now should enable me to spot duplicates as soon
as they are generated, but your reports of same to telecom-request@bu-cs.bu.edu
are still greatly appreciated.
