Duplicate Mail
Hello,
i'm running a POP3 server (CuciPOP) with sendmail as the MTA. Thing is some users sometimes get from 4-8 copies of the same mail sometimes. What could be causing this? regards, Timothy. |
My guess is that they're not set up to delete mail from the server as it's downloaded. This is useful in case you want to check mail from a remote location as well as from your usual workstation, but it just results in needless duplicate retrievals otherwise.
There ought to be a setting for the mail client(s) to delete mail from server after download. I believe that will solve the problem. |

You might take a look at this for clues or even possibly a solution:
http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipe...er/011867.html This user of sendmail found that duplicate (unkilled) processes were telling sendmail to send the same messages multiple times. Getting rid of the old unkilled processes solved his problem. At least it might be suggestive! |
