Hello Maurice,

 MK> Check ASIAN_LINK.  I see both the original in ASIAN_LINK and the
 MK> so-called dupe in LINUX and they are EXACTLY the same other than AREA.
 MK> Also confirm that the MSGID is EXACTLY the same in both.

Yes, I see that message in ASIAN_LINK also and it looks the same. The same date, time, content and MSGID.

 MK> They both show up on the EuroPoint which means that they both got
 MK> tossed by my uplink there -> 2:280/464.  Since 2:280/464 tossed them
 MK> both then they both got tossed by you since your node is the first
 MK> tosser both those msgs saw.  Also they were both packed here ->
 MK> 1:153/7001, in the same pkt so it isn't like there were multiple files

 MK> AREA.  No?

That's what it seems at least here and 280/464.

 MK> Without knowing for sure I am guessing that is supposed to happen.  If
 MK> not then there is another bug.

I would use a unique MSGID even when cross posting. They seem to get tossed OK here and 280/464 but you never know what could happen along the way. There might be a tosser in the wild that will see an identical message with an identical MSGID that will toss it aside.

 Ttyl :-),
