I have had users complaining of multiple copies of mail... After offering
'our mailer isn't doing it', I looked, and found logs that show my
mailer might be doing it...
The mail host is a Sun IPX w Solaris 5.5.1, and qmail 1.03 w fastforward
and smtp-after-pop-authentication.
I grepped out the lines with this id, and include from one end through
to the new msg after what looks to be a full message.

So the question is - I don't see any system errors, and this is not
happening on every message, just some - what is going on here?
The only other odd thing I have noticed is that the inodes are reused
very quickly - as in almost immediately...
