Apologies. I interpreted your use of the word "fake" to imply the
domain didn't really exist. In that case, I would have not expected a
website to be up, nor an email to succeed (even with delays).

"No bounce" is not the same as "worked". You'll get a bounce message
when the mail server at your end gives up some time several days in
the future. Depending on how your mail server is configured, you
may get a "delayed" warning some time before that.

Thanks, Greg. We're actually blocking via that and related headers at
the gateway, which is why the mailing list is no longer seeing the
duplicates. I'm not sure any of us thought to email the news server
admin, though!


I did; the address is fake.


Worked for me. From the URL http://news.bbs.geek.nz/

I just sent a note to that email address. No bounce yet.


He already replied; maybe it's not going through to the list because of 
the blocking. Here is the post:



Apologies guys for the dupes being injected in to this newsgroup.

I run a message network using Fido Technical Networking standards and a
single node within fsxNet (bbs.geek.nz/fsxnet.zip) that was connected to the
gateway software had seemingly sent a bunch of looped messages though the
gateway. I have closed the node access off and removed some borked packets on
my side of the gateway.

Hopefully someone will see this reply and know I've acted as soon as I heard
from Greg. :)

If anyone spots anything further amiss you can reach me at avon [at] bbs
[dot] geek [dot] nz

Best, Paul

Thanks, Jon. Looks like there's nothing for us to do on the mailing list 
but keep blocking, then!

Yes.  Both of the posts on this thread appear twice, once
with and once without the parenthesized name.  In each pair,
the Date field differed by one second, once in each direction.
