So.... A general question to the list owner. Is is possible to add a "Nuke dupes" filter to the input side of the list server itself? If this was possible the outgoing send side of the list server would not suffer from explosions like this as I expect it did. By my count only 505 messages were sent in and if there were only 200 of us then 101000 would have gone out. A todo would be some way to notice the bad input and get it fixed..... Anyhow since RH hosts a long list of lists (some with thousands of addresses) this notion could save RH bandwidth for fun things. Regards, TomM -- T o m M i t c h e l l mitch48 -a*t- yahoo-dot-com
