I'm getting multiple duplicate messages from robomod@news.nic.it . At first I thought it might be a Thunderbird bug or a local configuration problem, but now I'm sure it's robomod's problem.
It seems that messages from the 26th to 29th are being duplicated.I hope that someone drops a line to the people managing robomod@news.nic.it, and I hope that the Debian list maintainers temporarily block news.nic.it until the problem is resolved.
But if news.nic.it is pulling from the newsgroup linux.debian.user, we've got a problem.
I've killfiled robomod@news.nic.it, but they're still tripling the number of messages I have to download when I fetch my mail; however, if you decide to killfile the robomod, you can select messages where the Sender: header is robomod@news.nic.it. Presumably the confirmation messages have From: headers that contain robomod@news.nic.it.
