   Hello Rick!

    RS> Another question for you   
      
   Sorry, i couldn't resist to adjust the subject line. ;)   
      
    RS> is there a setting about how to handle dupes?   
      
   Yes, but there are many systems involved and the dupes may be set up on   
   purpose. Since the change from POTS to Fido over IP the dupe rationale turned   
   by 180 deg. POTS dupes are for cost reduction. FoIP dupes are for network   
   stability. It's a question of routing. Chain routes from node 1 to node 2 to   
   node 3 are broken if node 2 goes offline and node 3 would never receive mails   
   from node 1. That could be avoided with mesh routing where node 1 have direct   
   links to node 2 and node 3.   
      
   Because links to any system in the network is a lot of work to set up not all   
   nodes do have links to any other system. If there is node 4 with links to node   
   2 and node 3 but not to node 1 then node 2 and 3 will see that new mail from   
   node 1 is unseen by node 4 and both 2 and 3 will export the mail to node 4.   
   Tadaa, node 4 got dupes. But node 4 will receive mail even if node 2 or 3 goes   
   down.   
      
   So if you have links to more than one system dupes can be normal. Dupes are   
   not normal if you are a point with one link only (uplink to your boss).   
      
    RS> I believe the reason I get a dupe for every message I compose in   
    RS> golded is because when I create a message in golded it exists in   
    RS> golded, then gets sent to my uplink which then sends it back to my

   Yes, but i can't imagine a misconfiguration of golded that could be   
   responsible for that. Hm, maybe if the from addressing does not match the aka   
   of the "first contact" tosser.   
      
    RS> The one I wrote originally and the one that gets sent to me. So each   
    RS> message I write always produces a dupe in the dupes area? Is there a   
    RS> setting to avoid this?

   You don't have dupes with WinPoint?   
   I suppose WinPoint does use it's own internal tosser.   
      
   Check the path kludges in golded (alt-k in reader) in the dupe area. If you   
   see your aka only, then it's a config problem on your side. If not they may be   
   wanted dupes for network stability.
