Mark,
So you are saying the message is one of the List Servers responses, 'already
subscribed'? I thought you were saying it was a bounce message, saying
'Message already here' or something to that effect. So my answer was not
pertinent to the situation! Guess I missed the meaning of your words "list
account" in your original.
What does the IMail Log show about receiving the email from the script, both
when sending to your account and sending to imailsrv?
As for the timing, I'm not so sure what you are seeing is 'wrong' in that
the first to arrive will cause the subscribe process to start, which has
more 'work' to do than processing the second email and sending only the
'already subscribed message'. This could mean that the second response could
arrive before the first. I don't think this is a meaningful 'clue'. Just a
delay caused by more intensive processing for the first response.
Without seeing the complete message prior to sending to IMail, I don't know
what else I can do. Maybe if you modify your script to output to a text
file, the same contents that go in the email (header and all!), you will
learn a lot more. Also might help to look at the output of MS SMTP (logs?)
to see if it is truly sending just one email. I suppose IMail logs could
tell you this, too.

> Yeah, i'm using MSSMTP. I moved it to a diff port so i could use cdonts
and imail. But when I send mail to myself using the same script, i only get
one subscribtion request e-mail...which really confuses me. The script
sends only one e-mail, but it works differently than sending the same e-mail
through an e-mail client (outlook, netscape mail, etc). As for the error
message, it's not necessarily an error message, but rather a message saying
"you're already on this list". So yeah, i'm sure it's from imail. One more
confusing thing is that the "denied" e-mail always comes BEFORE the
"accepted" e-mail (by a fraction of a sec).
