   Hey August!   
      
    AA> My system has both of these   
      
   Perfect! That confirms that the address is indeed part of the dupe checking   
   routine.   
      
    AA> [1] == MID: 1:153/7001 8QIOgQad   
    AA> [2] == MID: 1:153/7001.2989 8QIOgQad   
      
   That is what I see here. Also there is no doubt they are completely different   
   MSGs, from two different systems. Right? Also it appears from this angle   
   that your idea for the random serial number is indeed compliant with   
   fts-0009.001 despite objections anyone might have about the methodolgy.   
      
    AA> Perhaps you need to keep the "address" part the same for a valid   
    AA> test.   
      
   This was a perfectly valid test. If you actually need to see if it will pick   
   up on a duped MSGID we could try that as well. I'll follow up this reply of a   
   totally new MSG with the "1:153/7001 8QIOgQad" address serial number. Don't   
   touch that dial!   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
