Doubtfull. It's not done to filter echomail in fidonet. All I know is, there
are spamfilters on usenet gateways.

 TG> Just wondering, I don't know what else it could be.

Maybe you somehow duplicated the msgid, and the message got recognised and
dumped as dupe?

But that is easy to test. Just copy/paste the message text to a new message,
and make sure it has a new msgid, and make sure you change some detail of the
text, so it won't generate the same checksum on other systems. And send...

Bye, Wilfred.
