double message receive

Hi,

since the switch to the new mailing list adress of croquet-dev I get  
all messages from croquet-dev twice. I assume this is because the old  
croquet-dev is still active ? How can this be corrected, or can  
someone delete me from the old croquet-dev ([hidden email] or  
[hidden email])?

Regards

Hans

Only a partial answer:

* Everyone at the old University of Wisconsin mailing list was  
deactivated, by hand, by me.

* Mail to the old Wisconsin lists is forwarded to the corresponding  
Duke list, which then distributes it according to its rules. The  
reverse is not true. Mail to the Duke lists does not go back to  
Wisconsin.

* The old UW data was used to populate the mailing lists at Duke.  I  
am not aware of outstanding errors from this process. (Read on for  
who to contact if there are.)

* The new list does not reduce multiple paths to the same address.  
For example, your message was sent to both croquet-dev and croquet-
user.  The mailer isn't smart enough to see that you are on both  
lists, and so you would receive your own message twice. I am  
responding with reply-all, which will add your address, so you should  
receive three copies of my response. Yuck.  But this is not the place  
to discuss that. See below.

* It is conceivable, though I think very unlikely, that something has  
become mangled specifically for you. For example, if you individually  
went to http://www.doit.wisc.edu/lists/wisclist/ and re-activated  
your mail after I deactivated it in the first bullet above, then you  
might receive multiple copies. But only if someone sent the message  
directly to the old Wisconsin lists. (See second bullet.)  I do not  
have admin access to wisclist any more to see if you have  
reactivated.   You'll have to check yourself. (But again, this would  
only effect mail sent to the old lists.)

* According to https://lists.duke.edu/sympa/help, the right place to  
get administrative help for these lists is [hidden email]. The  
Duke IT folks do not monitor croquet-dev and croquet-user, and will  
not see your request for help here.  (I am responding publicly on  
these lists only to make sure people are aware of this information.)  
IFF [hidden email] fails to help you, I would try sending to  
[hidden email] or [hidden email], and if  
that fails, send to [hidden email] (per http://opencroquet.org/ 
index.php/Contact).

Good luck!
