The error would need to be at the recipients end for that to happen,
which is possible.

That shouldn't have any effect, save to send another copy of the email.

Well, the first thing to do is to find out what is actually happening,
and if you can actually do anything about it.

As root, run 'mailq', which prints out the information.

Look in /var/log/maillog or /var/log/mail.log [1], find the records for
the mail in question, and work out /why/ it is being sent multiple
times. (Assuming it is from your machine sending it several times.)
If you are not clear, post the entire detail for one sending attempt
here and we can advise. Postfix tags each mail with a hex key, so you
can find all lines with the same key to track down all the stuff about a
single message.
(This is the same as the queue ID you see from mailq, also. :)
