I recall experimenting with Gmail many years ago and at the time, they did ``duplicate removal'' based on perhaps the Message-ID. As an experiment, I have added a local alias here which forwards to your Gmail account and which is not subscribed to the list server. You may have to check your Spam folder for it, but will you let me know if you get 1, 2 or 3 copies? If you get just one, then this confirms that Gmail is removing duplicates (as I suspect it has been doing for years, and for which reason I stopped using Gmail). If you get 2, the headers should reveal which route those 2 messages took and if they are both from non-MLM deliveries, then the mailing list is deciding not to send you a message. I actually believe this behavior is wrong in an MLM---how does it know that the message was delivered successfully? In your case, it took 33 hours for you to get the message, however, had the MLM just performed the basic forwarding service it should have been designed to do, you may have actually received it much more quicker; sure, you may have received 2 copies, but I think that's a better experience than a 33 hour single delivery. > Or is it the list server, seeing that one of the list's email > addresses is in the header, deciding not to send a (duplicate) copy to > it? Some MLMs do this, I'm not sure if this one does, but we may be able to find out with the little experiment above.
