Our only news-feed from "Over There" is through philabs, and we
are getting a lot of duplicate articles. I have had a prod around,
and it looks like genrad<=>decvax to me too:

Other duplicate messages that we receive always have genrad in them, but
others have decvax (without genrad) and are not duplicated.

Note that the Posting-Version, References and Organisation fields
are also gone. We had a similar problem when we changed to 2.10, as
a couple of sites we talk to "Over Here" were running VERY old 2.9
versions, which didn't understand all the fields (like they threw the
Path field away and used the From field, so we got ALL the news back!).
They also stripped the above fields out.

Does that help?
