My understanding (from attempted understanding behaviour I saw a while ago) is that if sendmail OR the other side times out waiting for a response, you will likely receive multiple copies - the remote MTA see's anything that is not a SUCCESS, as a FAIL, and so considers the message undelivered. This can result in hugely overflowed mailq's ;-) m/ _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users
