Bug Description
When attaching PDF files to a mailman mailing list a loop is set up where each mailing list member receives hundreds/thousands of posts.
Here is a small section of the archive:
[Alrewas NP Steering] Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk Practice Guide (part 1 of 67) Will Chapman (nb)
[Alrewas NP Steering] Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk Practice Guide (part 1 of 67) Will Chapman (nb)
[Alrewas NP Steering] Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk Practice Guide (part 1 of 67) Will Chapman (nb)
[Alrewas NP Steering] Planning Policy Statement 25: Development and Flood Risk Practice Guide (part 1 of 67) Will Chapman (nb)
When this section is complete (having sent 67 copies of part 1) the loop continues by sending 67 copies of part 2, etc, etc.
Any ideas how to prevent this happening - is it a mailman settings issue?
It looks to me as though this is an issue with the MUA that is sending the mail to Mailman. If the same MUA is used to send the same attached PDF to an individual, what does that individual receive?
I don't think there is anything in any recent Mailman that would cause a single email message to be treated as multiple posts. What Mailman version is this? If you have access, what's in Mailman's 'post' log and what's in the incoming MTA's log?
What is the content of those archived messages?
