This is not the same old problem.  This is a new bug somewhere in between
the mailling list and the forums.  This issue has been reported to the
appropriate entities.

This is somewhat funny to watch.


The forums users think some thread users keep sending the same post over and
over, every twenty minutes.  They are complaining about mailing list spam to
the forums.  It is only after about five days that some users started to
answer those threads....  In turn, mailing list users are complaining about
spam.

See here, the titles that keep getting repeated over and over....
