Lines: 12 There have been a number of people suggesting that genrad is at the root of the multiple copies. This in not correct. I appreciate everyone trying to find out what is happening, but while my site does pass both articles, it is because someone has already truncated the r from uw-beaver in one of the articles, so our news thinks that they are different articles. We are running 2.10. We have exactly the same software as most of the New England sites. Our link to decvax is a 2.10 link. I hope that someone can find the problem, as about 50% of our articles received are duplicates and thus our spool directory is overutilized. Rob Wood (decvax!genrad!rob)
