I've checked the code for loops many times, to no avail. But if the code was
at fault, wouldn't it ALWAYS generate duplicate mails? How come the mails go
thru okay when the server load is low?
Also, I didn't have logs the first time I sent, though I have changed that
now. Am a little scared of sending out the whole lists again just to test...
But I will have logs this time
Haven't deleted the mail lists from the old setup yet - but not using them,
like you said. I'm leaving RSET in for now, if it causes no harm it can only
make things better by clearing up the SMTP buffers right?
