Are you A: running your own mail system, or B: using an externally-hosted mail service, either Ba: directly or Bb: under a personal domain? Some mail services apparently treat this "discard incoming messages that look like duplicates of ones you already have a copy of" behavior as a feature; Gmail is the best-known example. That has problems when (as with this mailing list) the incoming copy is not identical to the one that was sent, even though it has the same Message-ID, but AFAIK they don't seem to care. If you're using an external mail service which does have that behavior, then that would probably explain what you're seeing. If you aren't using an external mail service, or are using one which doesn't have that behavior (i.e., if e.g. messages sent to other mailing lists to which you are subscribed do come back to you), then there's probably a different problem and it would be warranted to dig deeper. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
