To post a message I write to TECHWR-L -at- LISTS -dot- RAYCOMM -dot- COM -dot- Messages arrive
here with bounce-techwr-l-20798 -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com in the From line.
The listserv owner/admin is Eric Ray, and he can be reached at
ejray -at- raycomm -dot- com -dot-
After he switched to a new list service a couple months ago, Lyris, the
duplicate message problem began. It went on for a long time and then one day
he announced that it was finally fixed. I wrote to him and said it's not
fixed for me. He asked me to send him both duplicate copies of a few
messages. Then he concluded he couldn't find any reason on his end for this
to be happening.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help! Thanks,
Beth

Beth,
I'll attempt to research this for you ... would you please be so kind as to
give me the name of the listserv you are having problems with ... the Email
account for the Administrator of the listserv ... and anything else I should
know to help assist you with this.
Thanks,
Karrie :)

Pam,
I subscribe to a tech writers? listserv, and I receive two of every message
posted. With the volume of messages on the list, it?s a pretty big problem.
I reported this to the list administrator, and he suggested I ask you to
look into it, because he can?t find any problems. Any ideas what could be
wrong?
Thanks,
Beth
