Hi, The forwarding of mailing list emails from @common-lisp.net to @lists.common-lisp.net has caused a problem with duplicate emails on the lists. The reason is that the Reply-To header in outgoing emails contains the @lists.common-lisp.net address, but the To header still contains the @common-lisp.net address that the sender used, e.g. Message-ID: <CAN7nBXdm2w5xL-ZPFpwevaBKDN+weTa03GEFZKuHEyZOOgDt5g@mail.gmail.com> To: Common Lisp Professionals <[email protected]> Reply-To: Discussion list for Common Lisp professionals <[email protected]> Unfortunately, some (many?) email clients will construct a reply containing both the To and the Reply-To headers, so that will send the reply to both addresses, e.g. Message-Id: <[email protected]> CC: Discussion list for Common Lisp professionals <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> and then everyone gets two copies. -- Martin Simmons LispWorks Ltd http://www.lispworks.com/
