UPDATE: We believe this problem has been fully resolved (the fix actually was pushed on the afternoon of the 27th). But if you’re continuing to see duplicate messages, please do still contact Customer Care with the information described below.
We are aware of the duplicate message bug that is affecting some groups and are investigating the problem.

- Provide the full headers of 2 (or more) copies of the duplicate messages.
The headers, in particular, are vital for us to be able to effectively troubleshoot. This site http://www.fraudaid.com/find_headers.htm#service provides useful information on how to get headers for many different email clients.

I and certain (but not all) members of lists that I help run have been getting multiple copies of certain messages via email. The problem started yesterday, and it appears to be continuing. In one particularly egregious case, I have received 34 copies of the same message over the past roughly 24 hours. The most recent copy arrived within the past 15 minutes.
When I visit the web page associated with the group’s traffic, I see only one copy of the message in question.
I’m still having problems posting to many Yahoo Groups. Is there a time I should post, or is everyone treated equally. I’m in the Philippines.
I applied for membership in the Brother Knitting Machines group weeks ago, and haven’t heard from them. Their group still says “membership pending”. I’d like to be able to read their comments, and participate. Ruth

HOW ARE WE SECURE BY USE OF FIREARM?
Hi Guys, I am a new member just joined the group. i am excited to be part of you. My topic for discussion is: how are we secure by use of firearm?
Welcome to my Group.
This is AXGroup inside Yahoo!
I received 30 copies of the same message from one of my groups but only one was in the archives. I submitted header info from the last message copy received (this morning) and “source coding” from the copy that’s in the group archives in a report to Y!G Customer Care and I’ve already received a response saying that the issue has been identified and resolved.
Not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but I’ve been getting doubles of random posts with sentto and a bunch of numbers in the subject line. The email is then filled with lots of gibberish. This is an example of one of the latest ones:
sentto-13926196-9002-1227883974-jacquivanmeppelenscheppink=yahoo.ca@returns.groups.yahoo.com
I usually get the message filtered into the proper mailbox as well. Is this something to with settings or is it a yahoo thing?
i sent a good exemple to the yahoo help just now with full headers of a mail received 15 times today
i hope this will help to fix the problem soon
regards
