Hi David

If you have read my previous mail regarding dupes. the bad news is that I
turned Dupe checking ON and FMail didn't pick up the dupes from Teddy and
forwarded the whole lot on to you and John.

I opened the Zip and deleted the packet of messages from teddy (after
checking that there was no mail from her personally ) so you will not get
another load of Dupes.

What I can't figure out is why it didn't detect ALL the messages as dupes.
I actually checked the MSG ID's and they were identical to messages already
in the message base.  The ones from Teddy must be altered in some way that
defeats FMAIL's dupe checking mechanism.

I.E It detects Dupes if I toss YOUR pkts twice
  It won't detect the same messages as dupes after they come back from Teddy.

SO........

Seeing you had this problem between you and Bill G, what did you do in your
setup to stop your system sending the messages from Bill back to BIll.
I know the software is different, but your answer may give me a clue as to
what it is that needs changing on TEDDY's system to stop it sending her
inbound mail from being sent staraight back to me.

I will be studying the Docs in the meantime.

If I can't get her end fixed, then I may have to setup Christians system to
NOT forward from the FMail Toss and make WildMail forward Locuser &
Sysop when the mail get tossed into his WildCat message base

Even then I may still have the same trouble if the Wildcat Dupe detection
system gets fooled by the difference in the existing messages and the
returned messages. (whatever it is)

I have learnt that Christians system ADDs the Node part of his point
address to the seenby line. This is why I can't use the SEENBY's as then it
won't forward anything :-(

While I was on his sytem I used his editor. It is real shit after being used
to this one.!

After the DOCS comes the FMAIL echo.

The other solution would be to make Christian a node ?? :-)
