To those of you who have noticed duplicate messages in your
mailboxes... one from me and one from the real author.


My apologies,

I had just setup a mail spool and forwarder in procmail for the
FreeBSD lists.  The forwarder called sendmail on the raw messages, and
I was giving a -t option to it.  And I thought only incompetent people
did things like this. :-(

While the dups shouldn't have made it to the FreeBSD lists themselves,
all those others listed as recipients will have gotten dups from me.
I think there were about 200 messages in my private spool, so that
would be about 30 addresses, at least one of which was a mailing
list... 


I'm still considering my penance for this act of wanton stupidity.
Suggestions are welcome.


Regards,
Dave Barker.


BTW: I recall there was a conical hat for just these occasions, where
     did it go?
