Your sendmail has a 10 second timeout on milter. That is fairly short, README.milter suggests 10 minutes. > Mar 30 15:18:53 mailtwo sm-mta[65928]: k2UD8pM8065928: Milter > (milter-amavis): to error state > Mar 30 15:19:04 mailtwo sm-mta[66350]: k2UD8pM8065928: to=<**thatone**>, > delay=00:10:13, xdelay=00:00:11, mailer=esmtp, pri=271591, > relay=**thatonesrelay**, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (k2UDHcAY039605 Message > accepted for delivery) This one above is most weird. Despite milter failure, the message was forwarded. Usual suggested failure mode is F=T (in the sendmail setup for milter). > Mar 30 15:23:12 mailtwo amavis[66548]: (66548) > AM.CL /var/amavis/amavis-milter-k2UD8pM8065928: <**thisone**> -> > <**thatone**> > Mar 30 15:23:15 mailtwo amavis-milter[506]: k2UD8pM8065928: (mlfi_eom) > smfi_addheader failed, perhaps milter session timed out Even though sendmail timed out its side, amavisd continued processing the message, and after 14 seconds it has completed its job, but there was noone listening for the final result. Nevertheless, this should not be producing a mail duplicate, so I don't know where it comes from. > In my eyes this looks like the mail got recieved, scanning failed, it > got sent (that's what we want in this case)...

Did portupgrade produce a bit of junk??) Get rid of both of them, and install 3.1.1 from ports.
