Post by thread:[OT] Rejected Postings

I have been getting a number of the following type messages from the ListServer. To my knowledge I have only been sending out one copy of each original message, yet lately I seem to be getting this message about duplicate postings almost every time I send. Is there some way to determine whether or not the problem is on my end or on the ListServer's end? Have others been experiencing anything like this, or am I alone in having this experience? Thanks, and sorry for the [OT] message. Fr.

Hi Fr. Tom, Yes, it is not only you, myself and several others (at least) are getting them. Apparently the listserver has the hiccups. In fact, I have been getting TWO duplicate message warnings for every message I send to the list.

I'm also getting the messages. Another wierd thing is that the listserver has recently been posting my messages to me via the list, even though I haven't configured it to do so.
