Hello, Dale.

What I'm wondering is why my system didn't catch them.  As you already know
(but for the benefit of everyone else reading), I've got a dual duplication
detection system here, using both headers and MSGIDs, and somehow the darn
messages slipped past my system.  I have a program in my Maximus section (I own
Gary Gilmore's "Maximus Home Page" site) that sorts incoming packets before
Squish tosses them in.  I'll have to check out everything and see if I can find
something that burps out the messages better than Squish.

Do we know who the offending system is?  Might need to contact him and see
what's going on.  I know for a fact ProBoard doesn't put MSGIDs in its
messages, but I so rarely have a problem with dupes getting tossed out that I
don't bother checking a lot.  Perhaps I need to install a stats program that
will post me a netmail message nightly so I can check on things when I drag
myself to the computer first thing in the morning. :)
