Nikhil,
First, you can get rid of the RSET commands as they are doing nothing (but
they can stay, too!).
Second, check the IMail logs to see if your code is really doing what you
think it is. I suspect that will show sending to the same user multiple
times.
Have you removed the IMail Lists? You no longer need them (at least those
that are replaced by your code).
Sort of sounds like your code is not working correctly when it is getting
the 'next' address, or going through the loop more than once.
