Is there anyway you can send mail back to the originator warning him
that a message was rejected due to matching checksum? Yhis is really
a dumb way to check for multipath postings, since it seems to happen
so often. There ought to be a lifetime on the checksum test, and if
the message is over 5 days old, then recycle the checksum associated
with it.
This and the problems with burping... I am having less and less
respect for the mail server at prairienet.org
