Michael and I very rarely lock threads. The threads that are locked are usually spam. That is done by simply saying, This thread shouldn't be posted on. If someone physically sends three copies of the message, then that is three copies of a message, and unless we're going to do a whole bunch of unnecessary processing by reading through the body of the email, seeing if it matches a previous message, and blocking it if it does, then we can't really help that. But if the mailserver has a hiccup and sends duplicates, we do block those. We sort it on the message ID, so if it's got the same ID, it gets blocked.
If a thread is locked, a message with that thread will not get sent to the list. It is blocked from posting. (More inline ...)

Jochem -- What duplicates are you getting? Where is here? I'm not sure I understand. ______________________________________________________________________ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
