That's ok. Sometimes one thing leads to another. (Who did that song?) ;)
Thanks.

I'll see what I can come up with on what I brought up.

Interesting. I wonder if it's somehow related to either:
.) the spambox feature (which I believe modifies this file) or perhaps
.) some side effect of a user changing their preferences.
Might want to test these to see if you can recreate the result. I think
the former is more likely.
In any case, this seems to point to a problem with the maildrop-toaster
package. Please start a new thread for further discussion about this.

Thank you. I've been trying to figure it out for 4 years now.
Some process seems to add the second entry to the .qmail file along
the way. I'm not sure if it is when the account is modified by one of
the web interfaces or by some other process.
Here is an example of a .qmail file from an account that was receiving
double emails:
--------
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop -A
'Content-Filter:maildrop-toaster' /etc/mail/mailfilter
#/home/vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com/mary/Maildir/
--------
Notice I remarked the second line.
After that, the account has been fine ever since.
Every now and again, I get one that somehow reverts back.
Whenever it comes up, I'll look for answers for a day or two, then get
busy and forget about it....
Last time it happened was when I was still using the older Qmail
Toaster Admin (http://mail.domain.xyz/admin-toaster/)
I have been using the qcontrol (thank you Jake) for a while now, and
I'm not sure I've seen the occurrence since I started using it.

Nice catch, Patrick.
Any idea how these entries may have gotten in the .qmail file(s)?
Just curious.

Sometimes it's also helpful to check your .qmail file in the accounts
where this happens. It might be pushing the mail through the
spamfilter twice. Remark or delete the second entry in the
/home/vpopmail/domains/yourdomain.com/youruser/.qmail file if this
happens. (at least this has worked for me)

Hi All,
I am receiving two copies of every mail from
[email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]> since last couple of
weeks, but I realised this yesterday only. This is not the case when
I receive mails from any other mail domain or email address which
makes
me believe that there is nothing wrong my side.
Is anybody else facing this problem???
Regards,
Anil Aliyan
I wouldn't experience this, as I use gmane.org for list access, and
don't receive any posts directly.
Duplicates are typically the result of a timeout, which could be on
either end. When a timeout occurs, the session does not complete
successfully and the sending server (appropriately) resends the
message.
If your server can experience periods of heavy load (usually caused
by
multiple concurrent scans), be sure that your timeout settings are
not
too restrictive. Spamdyke's idle-timeout-secs setting may need to be
increased a bit. FWIW, I'm presently using 180 for this.
/var/qmail/control/timeoutsmtpd is another setting that you should
check.
Given that multiple users are seeing duplicates only from this list,
I
would guess that perhaps the sending server has experienced periods
of
heavy load. Jake??
