<< He everyone,
Does everyone receive double responses when you are the initiator of the
original e-mail message? Same individual with two different e-mail
addresses. Why is this?

Hi Jim,
If there is two different email addresses in the subscriber list of the
server, there will be an email sent to each one. The server
is just a dumb server it only knows email addresses. BUT, if there are two
emails sent to each email address, it may be because
of the way the account is set-up, could be that the account is set to REPRO,
that means that the server will you back a copy of any
email you send it, plus the broadcast message that it sends to the whole
TechNet list. Below I've pasted some commands that you
can send the server to customize your account. There's one there that a few
people need to use when they are going out of their office
on vacation or something and they turn their autoreply on. It's the set
NOMAIL command. It will stop the server from sending mail to you
until you're back in the office. It just bugs me a little to get 5-different
auto-replies saying that they won't be back in the office when I make
a post to the list...

P.S. This stuff is on the IPC Web site too...that's where I pasted it from...
Additional Commands:
SET <forum name> <option>
Command enables/disables a specified option.
EXAMPLE:
TO: [log in to unmask]
SUBJECT:
MESSAGE: SET TechNet nomail
Please note that the commands, addresses and forum names are not case
sensitive, and you can send as many commands as you need in one message as
long as they are on separate lines.
The available options are as follows:
Options: Query This command returns your subscriber options. To be
executed correctly, the message must be sent from the address about which you
are making a query. The syntax is:
QUERY <forum name>
Also, wildcards are supported. For example, sending a command
QUERY *
will return a list of all forums to which you are subscribed, with all
subscriber options for these forums.
Mail/Nomail Setting the NOMail option stops mail from the forum to you, but
leaves you subscribed to the list. NOMail is often used by subscribers who
are leaving the office for vacation or an extended business trip, and do not
want a full mailbox when they return.
Setting the Mail option is the complementary command that restarts mail
delivery from the forum to you. It does not alter the Digest/Index normal
delivery settings (see below).
For example, to temporarily disable mail delivery from TechNet to your
address, send the following command:
SET TechNet NOMAIL
Please note, if you use an auto-responder while on vacation without setting
your subscription options to NOMail, your "vacation" messages may bounce back
to the mail list and you may be "served off" from the forum when you return.
This is because the server will be unable to process the message from your
auto-responder and will consider it an error. Being "served off" simply means
that any commands you send to mail list will be ignored until the forum
administrator restores your normal status.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Digest/Nodigest Setting the Digest option causes the subscriber to receive
one e-mail posting per digest cycle (typically daily) rather than individual
messages as they are processed by the mail list. Digest negates Index
delivery mode, enables mail delivery.
Setting the NODigest option causes individual messages to be sent to the
subscriber.
For example, to start receiving the TechNet messages in digest form, send a
following command:
SET TechNet DIGEST
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Index/Noindex Setting the Index option causes the subscriber to receive
one posting per digest cycle, containing only an index of subject topics for
all messages during that cycle. Instructions on how to retrieve the
individual postings are included with the index. Index negates Digest
delivery mode and enables mail delivery.
Setting the NOIndex option causes individual messages to be sent to the
subscriber.
For example, to start receiving TechNet messages in index form, send the
following command:
SET TechNet INDEX
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
Search This command allows you to search a database of all previous
postings to the specified forum. The syntax is:
SEARCH <search string> IN <forum name>
For example, to search TechNet for gold plating, send the following command:
SEARCH gold plating IN TechNet
Adding SINCE <date> after the forum name will impose the time constraints on
your search, i.e., command
SEARCH gold plating IN TechNet SINCE 97/01/01
will search all postings since January 1'st 1997.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
ACK/NOACK When you send a message, the server responds with a confirmation
message, saying that "your message was delivered to the forum, etc.", but, by
default, the copy of your message is NOT sent to you. In other words, when
you send a message to the forum, you do not receive it back as a posting.
However, you can change this default for yourself by setting following
options:
ACK - A short confirmation message is sent to the sender of the posting
(default)
NOACK - No posting acknowledgment is sent
Repro/NORepro REPRO - You receive a copy of your own postings
NOREPRO - You do not receive a copy of your own postings
For example, to receive both confirmation of the posting and the posting
itself for your TechNet submission, send a command:
SET TECHNET REPRO
To receive only your posting but not the posting acknowledgment:
SET TECHNET NOACK
SET TECHNET REPRO
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
THANKS You can send this command to see if the server is alive, and the
messages to and from the server are delivered normally.The server politely
responds, "You're welcome!".
