Since my switch to Postfix, just a few days ago, I've noticed that, for some odd reason, I'm now getting two emails, rather than one based on entries in my aliases file.

My /etc/mail/aliases contains the following line:

bjb:    bjb, chadb

I have a dedicated account for my elderly mother where she gets her ebills sent to.  To make sure none are missed, I send a copy also to my own account, with her knowledge.  This had been working flawlessly using Sendmail: each account would get a (single) copy of each email sent to that account.

I switched to Postfix earlier this week, and since then, I get two emails delivered to the chadb account, but still only a single one to the bjb account.  I suspect this has something to do with the different way that Postfix handles determining if there are duplicates in a delivery vs Sendmail, but I'm at a bit of a loss to figure out if there's any way for me to stop this from happening.  It's not a huge deal, but it's making duplicates that aren't needed.

Any mitigation suggestions are much appreciated!
