Just eliminate the biggest files in your setup - comment out BLACKLIST
and BLACKLIST_URL from your config. Those two are huge and taking them
out of my setup returned my system to normal behavior.

I need help with a problem. Our users are seeing some multiple
duplicate emails coming from the same sender. This is not occurring
with every email so there does not seem to be any pattern to which
incoming emails will be duplicated and which ones won’t. They are also
reporting that duplicate emails are sent when they send to an outside
email. Has anyone experienced this problem before? What could be
causing this to occur and what can I do to stop this? I am running
qmailtoaster and spamassassin as an external email gateway. There has
been nothing changed with qmail but I did update some rules in SA
using rules_du_jour yesterday. Would these rules updates cause this
problem? If so, what would have changed?

If your system is low on resources (ie: RAM), then the spamd process

so it resends it.
Might want to check and see how much RAM you're using.
I want to thank everyone who posted a reply on my inquiry. I believe
Jake Vickers was right about the problem. The RAM on the email server
was bogged down since yesterday when I updated the various .cf files
using rules_du_jour. I had included just a handful of rules from RDJ
but it appears that RDJ utilizes much too much of my server resources
to use it to update my spamassassin rules. It was slowing down the
server so much that simple functions were not responding. This appears
to have affected the delivery of emails. In fact I noticed that my
original message to these mail lists took several hours to post and
were duplicated also. I resolved the problem by moving the various
rules .cf files out of the /etc/mail/spamassassin folder and
restarting spamassassin.
If anyone has a simple way of updating rules for spamassassin I would
welcome your input. I still need to update the rules as I have been
getting a great number of emails coming through to users.
Specifically, we are getting a lot of the pharmaceutical spam and the
stock spam.
Again, thanks to everyone for the posts.
