Nonsense.  That is a most impractical way of dealing with it.  I deal with it 
by sending via my ISP's smtp server.  No hassle and works fine.  Others may 
have other simple ways of dealing with it.

I do too. But the list echo never comes back TO THAT ADDRESS@SERVER.  So 
you must maintain the sub to the other address or on a 2nd server.  Most 
just turn off delivery back to the server they post thru.  Mailfilters 
duplicate nuking doesn't prevent the duplicates in the two server or 2 
addresses situation, each with the same message coming back in, which 
may, or more likely is not the case during that invocation.  I've has as 
much as a 16 hour difference in incoming duplicates doing that.  The 
best solution was to stop using gmail.  And its like an Excedrin 
headache in that you've just removed the need for the headache powders.

So I miss it like I'd miss a broken leg, or a poke in the eye with a 
sharp stick. :)

For you maybe, but gmail has always been a broken solution in search of a 
problem to me.  So it was just a shrug when they started denying my 
fetchmail access to port 995 a year ago.  Problem solved by 6 # 
characters in the .fetchmailrc file.

Because gmail see's the echo from the list, going back to the address 
that it was posted from, as a duplicate, and deletes it.  So you see the 
post, confirming it got there by seeing it on the address you didn't 
post it from.  This duplicate deletion I have spent at least an hour on 
the phone to google, trying to convince them that doing so screws with 
every mailing list you are one because if you only subscribe once, as 
JohnDoe@gmail.com, you never have confirmation a confirmation that it 
got there in the first place without going thru all the bs of looking up 
the server with a web browser. By the time you find it, you've wasted 3 
or 5 minutes that I could have used far more productively if gmail 
wasn't such a jerk about it.

Some of the questions I have asked were so far off the beaten path, and 
so I posted again,  no response, but the third time someone did pipe up 
and tell me they had indeed seen all 3 posts, but its likely the 
no-response was because they couldn't help by answering.  So I was left 
re-posting the same question 3 times and looking like a bigger idiot 
than I hope I am, just to get a single reply. One that basically told me 
to STFU.

I did eventually suss my problem out, but when I posted my how-to, 
the "experts" then lambasted me for doing it that way.  But its worked 
for me for about 5 years now, thru 3 installs, flawlessly. On this 
little home network I use host files so I see no valid reason to waste 
space and time with dhcp.

But, had I also subscribed as FredDoe@gmail.com, I would have seen that 
every message I sent as JohnDoe@gmail.com would have come back to 
FredDoe@gmail.com, and since I sort to folders in KMail by the list 
address, everything would have worked just peachy.  KMail has no problem 
as it can set your posting name@address by the folder your are in. But 
thats an ability it didn't have, or I didn't know about, at the time 
this first boiled over 10 years ago.

Thanks Lisi.

If, like you. you like a complicated life.  As I said, I achieve the effect 
just by posting through my ISP's SMTP server.  I get all my posts "echoed" 
back.  It is very simple.  So there is no need at all for two addresses.

In other words, you avoid Gmail problems by not using Gmail.  Sensible
solution and it's what I do as well, but people who for some reason must
use Gmail need a different approach.

My domain is hosted on gmail, I run an exim mail server on my laptop and
use fetchmail to pick up mail from a half dozen or so accounts and
dovecot to run a local imap server. I have a fake domain known only to
my mail system that is local to the laptop only. I bcc all mail to
myself and always get a copy.

The list is archived online, if you're unsure about it getting to the
list one can see it that way. Email is returned if it's undeliverable.

It doesn't use MORE than the message ID.  It doesn't use the message ID, so 
far as I can see, at all. It uses the subject header.  That is why those 
using the Gmail interface munge threads so appallingly.

That's for threading purposes, though. I'm talking about what it uses
for detecting duplicates so it can discard them; it obviously can't be
using the Subject header for that, or users would never see more than
one message per change of Subject.

It's a waste of time. Even if you conclusively demonstrated the offending
header was Message-Id: (and it almost certainly is a major player) what
would you do? Better is to avoid providers who think it fine to mess with
your mail. People wouldn't accept Royal Mail or the US Postal Service
doing it.

As for duplicates: are the mails sent to the list and the one sent back
duplicates? That is, identical in every regard?

No; at minimum, the mails which are sent back have the List-ID header
added, identifying the mailing list through which the message has been
processed. (In my experience, usually there are other variances as
well.)

Google appears to treat them as if they were, however. That being
precisely the problem.

I have a particular instance, where it would be useful if I knew what to avoid 
in order to be allowed some "duplicates".  I am now careful to ensure that 
they are not identical, but they are still sometimes treated as duplicates.  
If I were able to analyse why, I could avoid the deletions every time.

No.   It is a different situation involving "duplicates" and Gmail.

we seem to be in violent agreement here. Just live with the dupes,

Okay, if this is some convoluted thing that Gmail does, then sure, I 
couldn't see complicating the Debian server just to overcome this. 
However, I think it would be nice if the Debian Mailing Lists homepage 
would have a simple one-line note alerting people to this...  if people 
actually read the note, it could help them avoid the issue as well as 
cut down on this type of talk here on the list!

As a new Debian user there are additional items I would recommend in 
terms of beginner-targeted documentation...  perhaps I'll get involved 
with the documentation team.

OTOH it makes for a nice conversation piece (and an opportunity to
learn collectively things about mail :-)

Perhaps some Googler chimes in and we learn even more. Who knows.
