That is odd. I don't know about your MTA, but mine assigns a unique id number to each incoming email and writes it into the header. This would make it impossible for duplicated messages to have identical headers unless the duplication happens within the MTA or at some point thereafter. If you look at your mail logs, do you actually see 9 messages being received? -- Bowie
