 TR> Based on the paths that Lee Green sent me for a dupe message, the common
address is 1:218/700 if I understand it correctly. If so then 1:218/700 is not
killing the dupe for whatever reason.

that system /may/ kill dupes or it may pass them on to their links... it is up
to the links to eliminate dupes on import into their message bases...

i'm of two minds as to whether distributors should filter out dupes or pass
them on... my own backbone hub system is configured to pass them on to my links
and let them decide what to do with this... this seems to be the better choice
in most cases... i've tried both ways and there were times that mail was lost
for some reason... configuring to send the dupes on covered that situation and
serves the purpose of having multiple links for an echo...
