It appears that some gateways occassionally send mail to all the
"To" addresses on a received list even though some of the addressees
also are served through another gate.  How that can be fixed is beyond
me, but the appropriate list to post information about the problem is:

info-nets@think.com

Send along the complete headers (all that RECEIVED BY stuff) for a
couple of the duplicate messages so the net gurus can figure out which
combinations of gateways are duplicating messages.

Now that a single copy of info-apple is sent to NDSUVM1 for redistribution
to bitnet readers, we get far fewer duplicates BUT some still do show up
(apparently, some gate routes a second copy through the gateway at
wisc.edu).  Maybe watching for the appearance of duplicates at NDSUVM1
can identify the "abnormal" source?
