For my site it is not a pop issue.
The progress for a message is as follows. (taking mail from our co-lo as an
example but it happens from multiple external systems)
Process on App Server attempts to send an email in house using a mail server
at our co-lo.
External Email Server
Co-lo mailserver attempts to deliver the message in house recieves an looses
connection while sending end of data.
Co-lo mailserver then waits 30-90 minutes and attempts to deliver the
message again, recieves the sam error repeats process for 2 days until it
gives up.
On the internal side.
Email server accepts connection and delivers the message normally, 30-90
minutes later accepts the same message and redelivers it normally. Meaning
no errors in Maillog or Messages.

Are you seeing this as SMTP level? We get duplicated messages frequently
but it's always (as far as I can tell) a pop issue. It is always solved by
deleting an improperly formatted multipart mime message, almost always
from outlook. The logs show somthing like "unable to lock mailbox;
connection
lost" or something similar. That's with cucipop.
