Message-ID: <1990Jun2.010920.729@ladc.bull.com> Date: 2 Jun 90 01:09:20 GMT Sender: news@ladc.bull.com (Usenet News) Reply-To: fmayhar@hermes.ladc.bull.com Organization: Bull HN Information Systems Inc. Los Angeles Development Center Lines: 39 I sent this to Henry; no response as yet, so I thought I would post it here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to run ihave/sendme with another nearby site (turnkey). Almost everything seems to work, except for one little gotcha. It seems that when relaynews "posts" the ihave control article, it appears in the control newsgroup, and the message-id of said article gets put into turnkey.ihave/togo. The batcher faithfully picks this message ID up and posts it as another ihave control article. This immediately leads to an infinite loop, as the new article's message-id gets put into turnkey.ihave/togo again, the batcher picks it up, etc. Is this a bug in relaynews? Should it really be working this way? Or do I have something misconfigured? Info: I'm running C news with the latest (May '90) patches, on a Sun 3/160 running SunOS 4.0.3.
