I experienced this exact issue recently. The problem was relatively specific to our environment but there is an issue with E2K that might be affecting you too. In our case, E2K forwards outbound mail to a smart host (MAILsweeper for SMTP). I had the MSW servers configured to block msgs with more than 100 recipients thinking that was working. It turns out that during the SMTP conversation between E2K and MSW, E2K learns that the smart host won't accept more than 100 recipients per message so it chopped up the message into multiple msgs and sent to all of the recipients in batches of 100. This is ok but when this happens E2K gets confused about whether or not that message was sent so it keeps sending the email over and over.
The msg does not show up in the queue in ESM but you can find it if you look in the file system (exchsrvr\mailroot\vsi 1\queue. If there are msgs stuck in there you can stop SMTP and delete them and all is well. It is possible you have something similar going on. Or maybe not. :) -----Original Message----- From: wade robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 4:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: multiple copies of a message (mailing list ) I have a few customers that send newsletters to external DL's up to 600 users per DL recently the some of their external subscribers have received multiple copies of newsletters sent up to two weeks ago. The messages leave our Exchange 2000 server and the queues are all clean. I checked the mailbox that is the source of this message and there is no indication that it has sent the message multiple times. Only a few users on the DL have complained about receiving multiple messages and they are spread across several domains. Anyone seen this type of looping mail before?? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** Mi8 Powered Applications - Brains for Business ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
