That's the million dollar question. I have not noticed problems myself
but if they are there the quicker they come to light the better.

I have dupe checking on currently and in the last month I only see 4
dupes that originated at the FTN <-> QWK gateway at 21:4/10.

There is such a keyword, -sbign<???/???>

There is no such thing currently. It's a possibility I think but that
won't happen over night as Paul would need to think on that. 

I can offer you a link using the above keyword for redundency, you will
receive many dupes. Pehaps like that we can shine a light on any hidden
issues.
