797.0. "distribution list mail goes twice" by KAOFS::D_STREET () Wed Jun 03 1992 22:33

    Hello,
    	 I have a customer who is running ALL-IN-1 V2.3 without patches,
    	and they have an odd problem with their mail. When they send out 
    	a message to a distribution list, the same mail gets sent out about
    	month later to the same distribution list, but with one of the 
    	recipiants as the sender. I have seen information saying that this
    	could happen if one of the recipiants has an auto-reply set or has
    	their mail forwarded. In these cases, the second mail happens right
    	away. In this case there is a long time delay between the original
    	message and the unwanted one. 
    
    
    			Is there any explaination for this??

The easiest explanation I can think of is that the recipient has copied the 
message (MCD) and then resent it. This would have the effect you describe. Are 
there any applications which use MCD? If they (or the user) has accidenatlly 
selected the wrong message to copy . . .
