Re: duplicate messages on IETF mailing lists

I guess with refusal to set their own sircam proc mail filter the owners of this list are tying to separate the men from the boys so to speak

In nine hours off line last night I received 6 new copies of sircam....five from this list.

Now with some help from a couple of friends I have for the first time my own procmailrc running at the unix level on netaxs

Its been there about 7 hours and so far NO new  sircams

this is my new .procmailrc just in case any of you find it useful

# sircam
     :0HB:
     * ^I send you this file in order to
     /dev/null

     :0HB:
     * ^Te mando este archivo para que me
     /dev/null

     /^.*\.lnk.*$/ reject

     /^.*\.bat.*$/ reject

     /^.*\.pif.*$/ reject


at least the virus warning messages from this list can be deleted with a keystroke and take little bandwidth

 Please consider the rest of RFC 1047, and note that while other messages
 have been duplicated, only that one was multipled a dozen times.

There were other messages that were delivered multiple times,
including those large virus files that mostly came two or three times.
Here are just a few:
