[comp.os.vms] strangeness in receiving Info-VAX postings

LLACROIX@carleton.EDU (Les LaCroix) (07/07/88)

I have been getting a _lot_ of repeated Info-VAX messages, some of which
are quite old.  Below are some of the headers in a note I received
Monday, July 4, 1988.  (I dropped the headers beginning with "From:".)
Beats me if I had _really_ seen this one before, but it was on a topic
which had a lot of responses back in May.

---- End of headers ----

It would appear from these headers that the message sat around at KL.SRI.COM
for two months and then was sent out.  Is anyone else experiencing problems
like this?  P.S., I don't believe I am signed up to receive Info-VAX directly
from KL.SRI.COM; rather I think I am receiving it (only) from a local
distributor.
