Is anyone else getting four emails each time a message is sent to the list?

I don't get any email. Are you getting mine?

Yes I can explain why.

With the old tester list, every time someone wanted to send a group email, a good 5 or 6 of the emails on the list were not operational anymore... so when i (or anyone else) sent the email, it said "We're sorry, this address *whatever* does not exist"... what i didn't know (i guess it does) is that even though it says that, it sends to everyone else anyway.  when i remove the email address from "TO:" (the one that doesn't work), and try sending it again, usually there's another one that doens't work, so i remove one and send again, etc. etc. etc.  eventually i remove all "dead" email addresses, and it goes through

Anyway, with the new and updated tester list, all emails work and are up to date, so everything should go through fine now

anyone sending mail to the testers, please be sure you only click "send" once though

This isn't the tester list - it's the CVS commit log list.

Well, it's increasingly difficult to find the guy who manages the list

You have 3 options till he responds:

1) make a rule that deletes all but one email, different email clients may not be able to do this

2) ignore it and manually delete the duplicates

3) unsubscribe


Dunno what else to do about it till DrEvil responds, I will email him again. Must be summer vacation or somethign for him.
