I'm actually surprised you're getting 2 emails from James this way. The
recipient list in James is a Set, so duplicate email addresses should not be
possible. In fact, in a simple mailet I wrote that does aliasing, it has
trouble because the Set is throwing an exception if I try to alias to an
address already as the recipient (e.g., a message comes for
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is aliased
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I'd prefer the Set to not add the duplicate
silently, or let it add and then remove the duplicates at some point.
I don't know anything in the spec that says you should/shouldn't send
duplicates, but I would think you don't want to send duplicates... I can't
think of any reason why you'd want duplicates.
