Over the years, CTM's release notes have mentioned various sorts of errors that they have learned to cope with. Each sounds more arcane than the next. I do not think you are describing a routine failure of PowerMail. I have also been leaving my messages on the server for awhile but I rarely receive duplicate messages and when I have received some, and have examined the headers, I have always seen different numbers and time stamps at the sender's end, as I did with the last messages you sent this list. I think you are describing a failure of communications with a mail server. The trigger for this could be a fault in PowerMail but it is as likely to be in the mail server or in the ethernet between them. (If you want to have sadistic fun, try switching the portfast setting on a Cisco router and watch everybody run around trying to figure out what's wrong. A mis-set router can cause timing delays with effects on applications that are isolated and form no pattern, although when a problem occurs it tends to repeat.)
