  I have some further information which may be of help. Please note that I am a
relative novice to this/these network(s) (what DO you you call the whole thing,
anyway? :-), and am *not* any kind of an expert on these matters. 

  It appears that most, if not all, of the complaints are coming from BITNET.
I'm not criticizing BITNET - nice people live there. 

  Also, I received a message a short while ago in which the receiver of
duplicates of one of my message had noticed that they had apparently arrived
via two different routes: 

  kenw@noah.arc.cdn  and  noah.arc.cdn!ken

  I live on CDNnet (ean/x.400), which uses the former scheme. Our mail is
gatewayed through UBC to the other networks. As a guess, I would say that it
looks like UBC feeds our mail to both BITNET and usenet, and that BITnet is
also getting a separate feed from usenet. I leave it so those in charge to
check this out and take appropriate action. 

  Soon, I hope. I don't get duplicate messages, but I'm reading a lot of flak.
