Hi there,

if you see the the message a few times in the smtpserver.log then its
not a problem in james..

About the message-id, yes it should be global unique and it "should"
be in every message. See the rfc for more details:

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html <- 3.6.4. Identification fields

So you could try to check for the message-id and if you received the
message already just set the state of the message to Mail.GHOST. An
other idea would be to generate a md5 of the message and check if you
have a match..

Bye,
Norman
