    Seems more like some kind of rescan took place. I got to "massive" dumps of older mail in the last couple of hours:

    Other than that, a rescan should only affect the system performing
    the rescan, not everybody else...

    that depends on the mail tosser... some simply toss all mail to all
    links no matter if it were a rescan or not...

    For all intents and purposes, I would call that a bug.

    more of a design defect... but we must also remember that rescans came later and there was no indication of them having been done... also most systems were leaf nodes so rescans didn't really matter... the problem comes when a system feeding others does a rescan and doesn't know about or take the ^aRESCAN control line into account when tossing... this is all relatively new, though...

    Do you have relatives in the Netherlands perhaps?

    As soon as EVERY ONE claiming to take part of FTN echo mail
    distribution, understands the importance of pass-thru, we will
    forever be ridden of those "bombs".

    Not all software can do that, PXW it's either or not both, as far as I know it doesn't have any issues.

    I am sure there are other softwares that don't have any issues also.

    If folks use buggy software then they need to change it or it's a
    configuration issue fix it.
