After the problems outlined in my "Help: Broken pipe error using
majordomo" post, I found answers in:
http://www.greatcircle.com/lists/majordomo-users/mhonarc/majordomo-users.200111/msg00172.html
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/smenhanced.html
Accordingly, I went ahead and set up a bulk_wrapper and ran our first
big list yesterday, some 2500+ list members.
Everything was going tickety-boo until about 18 minutes in when a second
parent instance of bulk_wrapper appeared and starting dispatching
duplicates.
After the dust settled (5000+ mailings in an hour, with the server
seemingly unloaded...big change from 100% CPU with 2-3 400 member lists)
, problem determination seems to show that the message bounced off a
recipient and came back to run a second time. The original header is as
expected, while the header in all the duplicate message shows the
original header plus the routing of the bounce. It appears that, since
it bounced, it came back still as originating from the list owner (the
only one authorized to submit messages) and thus was authorized for
dispatch...the second time.
Note that this duplication does not appear to be:
= a queueing problem
= a bulk_mailer/wrapper fubar
= an HTML problem (plain txt message)
I searched the archives and could find nothing.
Has anyone else had this problem? Thankfully the bounce just happened
with one recipient! Solutions? Brickbats for something obvious I missed?
The duplicate header has this stuff:
