Hi Chandni,

we have a similar problem with IMAIL 6.06. We also have a moderated list.
Sometimes when we send a mailing to this list, it happens that all list
members receive this message multiple times. We figured out what the problem
causes.

One message ist bounced and the other mail server returns the bounce message
to the list, not the list owner. When this happens, the list server
immediatley starts to send out the message to the list again. Some times
later bounce message again and the cycle starts again.

We have set up the list as moderated list and only the moderator can post to
the list, but the list server ignores this.

The only workaround we found, is to rename the users.lst file some time
after sending the mail to the list.

Hi

We are facing a huge problem. A mail sent out to a mailing list has been
received by the list users around 15 times!. It is a moderated list with
around 10,000 users. An observation I made was that all the mails after the
original one, had IDs of 3 list users. Could the problem be related to
these email IDs? If yes, how do you take care of such issues?
