> On Closer inspection actually this is only coming from one sender at > inboxconnect.com which i imagine is spam mail This happens when amavisd finally completed its checks and wants to report a SMTP status back to MTA, but the MTA has disconnected meanwhile, most likely due to a timeout, and will retry later with the same message. It usually means that the time needed to check this message is very long, larger than the smtp_data_done_timeout (or lmtp_data_done_timeout) setting in a Postfix smtp service feeding amavisd. If it happens often, consider increasing this value (in master.cf), the usual recommendation is 1200 seconds (twice the default), as in README.postfix. If it happens on mail which is not to be delivered (e.g. spam), and it doesn't happen every time for this message, it is not bad. When it happens on a mail that is being passed, then recipient may receive multiple copies of the message.
