Most versions of post-seventh edition /bin/mail will recognize multiple copies going to the same site and only send one copy of the actual message contents. It sounds to me like the original posters copy of elm might not be configured correctly. Decisions about how many copies of a message to send, where to send them, and how to send them, isn't really any of elm's business. All of this should be left to the underlying MTA. -- Lyndon Nerenberg VE6BBM / Computing Services / Athabasca University {alberta,cbmvax,mips}!atha!lyndon || lyndon@cs.athabascau.ca The only thing open about OSF is their mouth. --Chuck Musciano
