Hi,
I am running Postfix version 2.5.6 on RedHat 4 and is experiencing periodic 
duplicated mails.The RedHat mailserver is the mailhub receiving incoming mails 
from the ISP and forward mails to the internal mail server.
Occasionally, users are complaining receiving duplicated mails on the same day 
with 1-2 hours apart.Here's one of the snipped log entries on the same incoming 
mails being delivered twice:

Can someone explain why there's a delay in delivery at 10:15:17 until 13:04? 
The ISP said they didn't receive the 250 OK after end of DATA and hence retry 
later at 10:30 which was delivered immediately.
