BM> Message-ID (these appear to be generated by ISC's mail-to-news gateway)
The ISC's gateway unconditionally replaces existing Message-IDs on
posted newsgroup articles with its own. I see all of my articles come
back from ISC's gateway with ISC-assigned Message-IDs different to what
they had when they were sent.
Of course, the act of overwriting Message-IDs like this is one of the
well-known ways of causing such problems as you have observed. It's the
classic way of enabling a "dupe loop". And it's discussed at length, as
bad practice, in the IETF USEFOR draft. (See sections 5.3 and 8.8 /et
seq./.)
It's also one of the well-known problems with other broken softwares.
