Hi everyone
This is my first posting to this list so Im excited if Im going to get any
answers ;)

First a listing of software Im using:

Running RedHat Linux 6.1 kernel 2.2.12-20 (yes its old but Im familiar with
it)
Perl 5.00503-6
Sendmail 8.9.3-15
Majordomo 1.94.5


The odd problem:

We use Majordomo to distribute news to our customers and for that purpose I
have configured 2 lists, lets call them A and B.
Both lists have worked flawless for half a year.
List A consists of about 100 recipients and B (the problemlist) has about
400 recipients.
List A never buggs me but list B has suddenly started to send mail repeated
times until I delete the queue and stop it.
This hasnt always been the problem but started (I think) when the list grew
to 400 recipients.
Both lists only accepts postings from 2 internal members becouse its sole
purpose is to distribute news from us to our customers.

I have compared the maillog for list A sending and list B sending and both
gives same logg information but list B does it more than once which is the
problem. Why does Sendmail trying to distribute same mail more than once ?

Has anybody encountered this problem before ?
I searced Internet for clews but couldnt find anything that matched.
Found a email adress that was bouncing and deleted it but that wasnt the
solution ...

If anybody has a clue please share it with me ...
If you would like more specified maillogs or other info just say so and I
will gladly comply.
