RedHat 7.2 with "official" kernel update; 2.4.9-13.  All these messages
are mail2news-handled ones.  Those messages reported as 'duplicate', are
duplicates as I did remember reading them in my local lists before, but
the other ones seems to be messages that was gone missing.

I could be my server hardware as I suspect it's not being as stable as
I've been used to (BIOS does not properly recognize my 30 GB disk, but
Linux doesn't complain).  I have had only one stop since upgrading, but
that's far more than usual.  :-)
I'm using ext3 filesystem - perhaps ext3 is not as stable as ext2?
I guess I'll have to wait and see if this problem persists.

Anyway, I'm still using mail2news as it suits me really well - and
is working too (otherwise this list wouldn't get my messages)!  :-)
