This is the normal behavior for umbrella lists and has been since before 2.1.3. Possibilities include: 1) Apple had a patch in their 2.1.3 and removed it in their 2.1.11rc1 (this is only a conjecture - I don't know this). 2) something in the outgoing MTA to you path that used to deliver only 1 of multiple messages with duplicate message-ids changed and is no longer dropping dups. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/TIA9> for more on umbrella lists and workarounds including how to use regular_include_lists to make a 'better' umbrella list if you're not concerned about digest members of the sub-lists or processing bounces of posts sent to the "everyone" list. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
