Subject: [EXIM] Duplicated Mail
There does seem to have been a bit of e-mail duplication, but I have yet to be
able to prove why it is happening.

The duplicates are being generated by Exim or Majordomo, and I'm still trying
to figure out which. I think it may be a problem with the way that "virtual"
domains are configured under Exim (and my lack of understanding).

It is odd that _not every message_ is being duplicated. Here is a sample of
where the headers begin to differ:

--SNIP--
Received: from hidden.firehouse.net (station1.firehouse.net) [10.0.0.1]

    for <bsdi-users@???>; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 13:39:11 -0500 (EST)
--SNIP--

        for <bsdi-users@???>; Tue, 24 Feb 1998 13:39:11 -0500 
(EST)
--SNIP--


Note the SECOND "Received" header where the ID begins to differ. Note that
above that, all of the IDs matched up just fine.

If anyone has experience with this (Majordomo in a virtual-domain environment
using Exim as the transport), let me know.
