After recieveing about 250 copies of one message in a 12 hr. period from the SCO-LIST mailing list, I stop receiving anything. Today I got a piece of mail saying that I had been unsubscribed from the list. It said that either I requested it, or the mail destined for me bounced. Since I did not request "unsubscription", it must be the later problem, Has anyone else experienced this problem? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Mintha University of British Columbia Programming Assistant Geography Department e-mail: mintha@geog.ubc.ca Vancouver, B.C.

I too was receiving these dups-by-the-dozen, but in the last two days, I've not received anything at all from the sco-list.

We had a ton of duplicates prior to that, but didn't pass them through to the sites we feed in the Northwest. I am using ``deliver'' and put a very simple Message-Id check in to DROP (and log) all duplicate postings. I think all those duplicates may well have been caused by someone feeding mail recursively back to uunet!sco-list. I would like very much to see it working again!

As an April Fool's gift, the list is on again. So far, I've had about fifteen messages. No duplicates -- yet! -- Jean-Pierre Radley NYC Public Unix jpr@jpradley.jpr.com CIS: 72160,1341
