BUZZZZZZ..... WRONG ANSWER! 

(Please don't take that BUZZ the wrong way, I really do appreciate the
suggestions)

Seriously though.  These e-mails were not sent twice.  Also, the
duplicate e-mails were not due to a "loose" server as another poster
suggested.  

Here is an example that might shed some light on the problem.  This
morning at 8:09am I received an email from the Imail List Server.  The
email was duplicated and I received it twice.  Every email I received
was duplicated until the last duplicate e-mail was received at 10:10am.
Since this time, no more duplicate e-mails.  

This was taken from the Imail log for the 8:09am email:

This was the only entry I could find in the log for 10:10am with my
user:

estevenson mail.spacebag.com from 64.169.228.34

The first none duplicated email came at 10:13am, here are the log
entries for that mail:

One other thing, none of my users have reported duplicate emails (many
probably wouldn't tell me), but I am definitely getting duplicates at
times.  Also, I am using webmail, where as none of the users here are.  

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks, Eric

If mail is not being left on the server, the problem is most likely an 
E-mail that was sent twice.

If you check the Message-ID: headers of both E-mails, and they are 
different, the E-mail was sent twice.  If they are the same, you can
check 
the log files, and you should be able to find out what happened.
