I've seen this same behavior three times during the last month or so, with the number of dup messages varying from 26 to 84. However, this can't be a bug in XMail 1.8, as I'm still running 1.2 on this machine (RH Linux). Xmail ran for months (since whenever 1.2 was the current version) without spewing duplicates.
Here's what little I know about this: 1. We're a tiny country ISP with about a hundred users. No reports of duplicate messages from any of them. Some of them are the kind who gleefully report _every_ anomaly, so if this was happening very much I'd hear about it. 2. There is no record in any Xmail log of these messages being processed more than once, either arriving or departing. Maybe it's my mail client (Sylpheed on RH 7.2 Linux) choking on something? When Sylpheed displays the dups, they are always preceeded by a an empty (completely empty, 0 length, no headers, no nothing) message. 3. There is an NT mail server (I have no details, its not mine) within this same network that started mysteriously crashing the same day as my first bunch of dupluicates. Got me speculating that this might be somebody's crudely engineered mischief. Whatever, it's not a big problem here and seems to have gone away. In fact I'd pretty much forgotten about it until Gerrit's message jogged my memory. BTW Davide, Xmail, even the old one I'm running, is awesome. Many thanks.
