Just a head's up to the lists...

[Re: Colorado Spectrum Report - Digital Repeaters]

Regarding the message I sent with the subject line above, the message  
about the Spectrum Report has come back to me multiple times now as  
duplicates of my original message, and originally (without looking at  
the headers) I thought it was YahooGroups doing the duplication,  
(because they've done that before) but in this case, it's not...

Actually I know for sure that today's example came from the posting  
to [dstar_digital], but I've gotten similar back from the RB and/or  
Illinois lists also, I think.  (I was just deleting them, now I wish  
I'd kept all of them.)

Some application (probably a mail to news gateway or similar) over at  
theplanet.com has a lovely internal mail loop going that apparently  
bounces some YahooGroups postings around in a circle between their  
own server (74.54.35.229) and itself as soon as the message is  
received from YahooGroups, which runs in circles to itself (so much  
for the mail admin knowing how to stop mail loops, they can't even  
stop them in their own server!), and then it eventually dumps it back  
to the sender originally listed on the message -- via their server at  
74.54.35.237 8 days later.

It has nothing to do with YahooGroups at all, I guess, but it is  
rather annoying.  Can't really tell from here exactly what they're  
doing, but they're doing it wrong.

If you're also getting the odd "resent" message that seems to have  
the same content as one you already received back from YahooGroups  
previously (especially if it's a message you sent and your own copy  
comes back to you)... apparently the owners of these servers  
mentioned above are doing it, and have something quite badly  
misconfigured.

You can easily follow it in the headers/raw source of the messages, I  
just hadn't looked at them yet until today.  (The third copy of this  
one, I finally decided I was annoyed and wanted to see what was doing  
it.)
