faulty moderation software: duplicate messages

Virtually all list postings to the cypherpunks main list are
doubled; the first, which is a standard pass through with the
message ID of the sender, the second with the message ID of
toad.com.
Obviously, the first is destined for the unedited list --which did
_not_ receive the message. The second has been re-IDd, which I
presume is your censorhip mark.
I happen to subscribe to all three lists, even though
main + flames == unedited
is supposedly the intention, it is not. In order to divide the
output stream from toad.com, sorting on "Sender: " is the only
reasonable differentation (when toad's filters are working):
Sender: owner-cypherpunks at toad.com
Sender: owner-cypherpunks-flames at toad.com
Sender: owner-cypherpunks-unedited at toad.com
Sender: owner-coderpunks at toad.com
in the case cited below, the only differentation between the
destinations is that the censored message has a "Message-ID: "
from toad.com, while the one intended for unedited has a
"Message-ID: " not from toad.com. was either of these
destinated from flames? --the main list with duplicated messages
has contained any number of messages, including ones from the
ASCII art series which should have gone to flames.
so, why is the pass through message not being reliably re-headered
at toad.com to mark "Sender: owner-cypherpunks-unedited at toad.com"
--but if it is, why is unedited receiving a duplicate --obviously
the duplicate should have gone to flames.
BOTTOM LINE: your software is inadequate. my neighbors' kids write
better filters than you have installed.
