Re: duplicate mailing problem

Maybe I'm getting old or just more rushed by the rest of the world
these days, but without really digging into root cause, I can offer
a suggestion that may help prevent this type of event in the future.

In your wwbnews.config file, try something like this;

>         # message_headers	[string_array] (undef) <resend,digest>
>         # These headers will be appended to the headers of the posted

Take or toss any of the above custom header lines, but if you keep at
least the List-ID: or X-Mailing-List: line, you can do this, assuming
the list's name is "test";
