Title: RE: I got 4 or more emails identical....
The exact configuration line in a Pix firewall for "smtp security" is
 
fixup protocol smtp 25
However, I would doubt this is causing this. There is an old bug with Pix firewall's that might cause this, but the same version of IOS has more serious bugs (like being able to send fake TCP RSTs as a DOS attack).
 
Occasionally I get the same message twice, which can occur if the message is received OK but the sending server doesn't receive the confirmation. However, this happens rarely.
 
The users who've only received one message probably have more queued up waiting for them somewhere!

Sorry, I do not think I will be able to post to the list (because my !@#%@#$ Exchange Admin make every outgoing email an HTML email..... :-( ). If my message does not make it to the list, could anyone of you forward it? Thanks.

I had this exact same issue before here on my professional email account.
I looked into the issue and found out that we are using a Cisco firewall (PIX?). This firewall has a bug.... So if you turn on "SMTP Security" (not sure how this is called), they are times where the PIX think that the message timed out and will try to send it again..... (I can take technical explanation off-line if needed). I had them turn off this feature until they fix the firware of the PIX. Since then.... No duplicates! :-) [I used to blame yahoo, then I realized that other messages were duplicated as well]

2 cents,
Loic.
