As long as the MSGID is different in each message, it would not be a dupe. 
However, since newer versions of Allfix are not including a MSGID, they are not 
being caught by Synchronet (since I disabled CRC checking, which leaves it only 
to MSGID checking) and passing them on to my hpt node, which is catching them 
as expected.

I think I figured out where the actual issue is over here, but at least we were 
able to pinpoint a fault in the newer versions of Allfix as well. If these 
messages did come out with a MSGID, I wouldn't be having this issue with 
Synchronet.

I am. And Synchronet is not catching them due to the lack of a MSGID, so it's 
sending both of the messages (original and duplicate) to my hpt system, where 
they're being caught as they should be.

At least now I know the problem lies in a couple places, but where/how I can at 
least fix it so that it doesn't happen here anymore. :)

Regards,
Nick
