I have a new majordomo setup.

I am running tests on a small scale before trying to go production with 
it.  So far, I am running into a problem in that when some of my testers 
reply to the list everyone (including the poster) sees two copies of his 
post.  The only thing I see in common with the posters who get doubled 
messages is that they are using Outlook Express as a client.  Posters using 
Netscape or Eudora (so far) do not see doubled messages.

Is Outlook Express' reply function broken?  Is there a Majordomo hack 
around it?

Thank you,
Howard


My aliases are:

# Majordomo aliases
majordomo: "|/home/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
owner-majordomo: howard
majordomo-owner: howard

# List aliases
# Test
test: "|/home/majordomo/demime.pl '|/home/majordomo/wrapper resend -l test 
test-list'"
test-list: :include:/home/majordomo/lists/test
owner-test: howard
test-owner: howard
test-request: "|/home/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l  test"
test-approval: howard

I can see in my sendmail logs that the alias "test" was the recipient of 
the message twice.  I can also see in the logs that the it was called twice 
with the same message ID from the same sender.
