From: len at netsys.com (Len Rose) Subject: Administrivia: Duplicate Messages These duplicates are being re-injected after being sent to a subscriber of the vulnwatch mailing list who is also subscribed to this list. We see the same behaviour from users who are subscribed to the bugtraq list. The common denominator is that the original message to Full Disclosure also had multiple To: entries for the above lists, and that the recipient is using Micro$oft mail servers. So even though it was seen and transmitted to the Full Disclosure list (often days before) it gets re-transmitted because the stupid Micro$oft will apparently resend to any other address found on the To: line. We have no recourse other than to hope that the site disappears (in this case it was allergan.com and their Micro$oft Exchange server) or put up with duplicate messages arriving days afterwards when the other lists finally send out the same message. I've just manually deleted 150k duplicates from the outgoing mail queues, there were about 4 or 5 messages re-injected from that site.
