I've recently been wondering why we are getting what seems to me to be a
lot of repeat messages. I haven't much heard anyone else complaining, so I
suspect I've missed a bug fix somewhere along the line. Anyway, it seems the
most of the problems stem from having a message originate from a site that
supports more than one domain. I received a message (one of many) twice from
bbncca, once with the ARPA domain and once via UUCP. The history lines are:

<778@bbncca.ARPA>	Wed, 13-Jun-84 20:51:56 MDT	net.unix-wizards/6863 net.lang.c/1753 
<778@bbncca.UUCP>	Thu, 14-Jun-84 02:12:12 MDT	net.unix-wizards/6877 

The headers show that the mail reached us through two different paths:

I've also received pairs of articles via UUCP and SUN (the Australian
network). Has anyone else seen this and/or fixed it? It doesn't seem to
hard to imagine a fix to the history mechanism that scrubs the domain from
the entry, but it seems a little kludgey. Any words?

Thanks and regards,
