I had a look into /var/spool/smail/msglog there were messages concerning the messages who have been delivered multiple times. The messages start with several lines of Xsucceed: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> parent: <user> Xsucceed: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> parent: <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Xsucceed: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> parent: <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> Xsucceed: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> parent: <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> ... and end with a line saying: Xdefer: <nonworking email address> parent: <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> reason: ... The nonworking e-mail address is alway a hotmail.com address. One reason was: (ERR172) transport smtp: no connection to remote SMTP server: 499 read error from remote SMTP process another reason: (ERR148) transport smtp: connect: Connection refused So it seems, that there is a bug in smail: When there is a problem with an address in a list, and it has to resend the message, it sends the message to the whole list again instead of just to the erroneous address? Does anybody know about that problem? Stef
