Sounds good but we are talking about once a month or more.  I am certain
that it is not the NICs because I literally switched the HDD into
another Optiplex identical to the one that it is in now and this still
occurred.  I have also tried the Intel based NICs and get the same
thing.

As I said it happens particularly when [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets modified
to some degree.

However, I will look at the log files the next time this occurs.

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.
