And now for the continuing saga of the Andrew mailer....
The previous problem with the occasional doubling of messages was
due to the fact that our distribution list for this forum was too
large for the Andrew mailer to handle in a single cycle, hence the
double queueing of the messages. This has now been fixed in two
ways. One is that the list has been divided into three parts, each
small enough for the mailer. The other solution is the fixing of
the mailer so it can handle the larger lists. Between the two
fixes, we should be all set.
As to the recent outflow of somewhere between 10 and 20 duplicates
of a pair of messages, it seems that the messages got caught in
the middle of something or another and I have been assured that it
won't happen again.
So the end result is that the Info-DEC-Micro list is being brought
back on-line in it's immediate mode, where single messages will be
immediately forwarded. This should occur probably early Wednesday
morning.
If you continue to receive duplicate mail, please forward all copies
of the duplicates to me so that I can determine where the duplication
is occurring.
Again, thank you for your patience.
