[rules-users] Rules-users list delays/duplicates

[Ingomar Otter]

It seems that the rules-users list is experiencing either massive  
delays or duplicate delivery.
See message below which reached me today.
Should you experience the same effect, I have indicated this to   
"rules-users-owner" so it is known

Cheers,
   Ingomar
