Likewise for me - I've been logged on a few times today & when logged on my email is retrieved every 10 minutes (except when Bigpond rejects the logon!). Repeats of WAMUG emails keep trickling in - I think the cap seems to be ten copies of a message so far. Since I first realised the extent of the problem, I haven't been deleting my mail and have it listed by "sent" time so it's pretty easy to see how many copies there are of each message. I can't really see any pattern - no repeats on some messages and up to ten on others. Multiple messages from WAMUG originate from the whole spectrum of ISP addresses and private domain addresses. The repeats all have the same sent time but some are retrieved quite quickly and some after a whole day has elapsed. Like Richard, I haven't seen the problem with private email, but then I don't get much of it and I did get half a dozen copies of ITQ's "Digilife - update on Panther launch" each c/w 61k PDF! >From the responses so far, it looks like only bigpond customers are the ones having the problems? (except for Phil getting double messages - but that sounds like a different problem) and yes, Matt, I had heard all about bigponds mail problems and had noticed delays and logon problems - the trouble is this particular problem seems to have manifested after bigpond announced they were just about back to normal!!
