   As long as the MSGID is different in each message, it would not be a dupe.   
   However, since newer versions of Allfix are not including a MSGID, they are   
   not being caught by Synchronet (since I disabled CRC checking, which leaves it   
   only to MSGID checking) and passing them on to my hpt node, which is catching   
   them as expected.   
      
   I think I figured out where the actual issue is over here, but at least we   
   were able to pinpoint a fault in the newer versions of Allfix as well. If   
   these messages did come out with a MSGID, I wouldn't be having this issue with   
   Synchronet.

   I am. And Synchronet is not catching them due to the lack of a MSGID, so it's   
   sending both of the messages (original and duplicate) to my hpt system, where   
   they're being caught as they should be.   
      
   At least now I know the problem lies in a couple places, but where/how I can   
   at least fix it so that it doesn't happen here anymore. :)   
      
   Regards,
