hello doug, i checked in with TS and it appears that we are not seeing/hearing much chatter on this one. are the duped messages being duped once or twice or more?
can other folks share any insights as to whether you are seeing this on pop accounts? if we can access a few accounts to reproduce, then we have a better shot at resolving. bye for now, kg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Douglas A.
