Maybe all (or part) of what I am writing now is trivial and obvious, but still... 1. Reasons. The node (or point) has two echo uplinks. May be aggravated by cutting Sinbaev, changing msgid (in this case, two uplinks are not needed). Similar phenomenon - the forwarding of letters from one echo to another. A noticeable part of dupes is generated by temporary loops - when, while linking, the node, in order to avoid mail loss, first subscribes to the new uplink, then unsubscribes from the old one. 2. Ways of fighting. a) bringing the structure of the distribution of echoes to a tree-like form as inat the internetwork level and within networks b) combating specific manifestations of the situations described in paragraph 1. Work on both points, if it is to be carried out, must be carried out constantly. She requires quite noticeable time and effort. That is why none of echo coordinators were not personally involved in this - NEC already has enough work. And, like any business in Fidonet - this work is done only if there are people willing spend your time on it. Ultimately, there is only one way - through communication through personal letters, identifying the true culprit and the conviction to correct him. 3. Organization of work to combat dope loops. Everything is determined solely by the presence of people who are ready and able to: - spend your precious time on this matter; - conduct correspondence calmly and politely in any situation, taking into account that, although Most sysops treat this with understanding and approval, you can encounter such rudeness that you will need strong nerves to continue communication politely; - know the basics of FTN, have an idea of the structure of echo mail circulation, read technical information of letters. If there are such people, organizing the business will not be difficult. Naturally I am ready to provide them with all possible support. Otherwise there is no point in trying.
