Just to clear the air on this issue. The duplicate email only occurs on mail FORWARDED from external accounts - such as my speakeasy.net email account. My ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) account is set to forward all email to my SME email server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) .
However, mail sent directly to my SME email server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is NOT duplicated. It appears to be a problem from my ISP - NOT the SME boxes. I will continue to monitor.
