Hi Jay,
4) I'd love to know how you're getting cctech traffic, since I just checked
and you are most definitely not subscribed to that list. Perhaps you are
referring to cctech posts that are gated to cctalk and the headers reflect
that? It's valid list traffic.
I investigated a similar issue with my subscription and posted on the list
about it in November last.
The short summary is as follows:
Before the big event, I was subscribed to cctech only. After the big event, I
remained subscribed to cctech only but received two copies of nearly everything,
one with:
Return-path: <cctech-bounces at classiccmp.org>
and one with:
Return-path: <cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org>
I tried unsubscribing from cctalk. I couldn't because I wasn't subscribed.
I eventually unsubscribed from cctech and subscribed to cctalk. I found I
was getting almost no duplicates after that. The off-topic stuff wasn't a
problem because very little off-topic stuff was being posted.
However, the number of duplicates has increased recently. I suspect that I
am getting one copy of mails posted to cctalk and two copies of mails posted
to cctech, the opposite situation of when I was on cctech. Back in November,
very few postings were going to cctech so being subscribed to cctalk seemed
to be the best option at that time.
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
