You sound convinced that you aren't sure that the problem is the NICs.  :)

The Knowledge Base is an excellent resource... most of the time.  There are 
occasional entries that offer one possible solution to a problem without 
discussing others, and I think that this may be one of those cases.

Have you checked the IMail log files to see if it shows the E-mail arriving 
just once, and to see if it shows that it was delivered more than 
once?  There are rare cases where duplicate mails will legitimately occur 
with a TCP/IP connection broken at the wrong point in the connection, but 
we aren't talking about 1 in 10,000 (my guess of what infrequently might 
mean here), that would be more like 1 in 1,000,000 E-mails.

I'm guessing the log files will provide a clue as to what the problem is.
