This scenario, where Postfix receives one message and delivers two, is called message multiplication. The headers-only notification is a safety mechanism that avoids doubling the amount of mail in the queue. For an example of a multiplication disaster see: https://video.disney.com/watch/sorcerer-s-apprentice-fantasia-4ea9ebc01a74ea59a5867853 The delay notification contains a lot of infomation: The envelope recipient and server respnse (twice) The envelope sender The message header including the message ID, date You can correlate that with information in the maillog file. Since the messages are in your local queue, you can see the above information with the command mailq (postqueue -p), and more with "postcat -q" if you must see the content. Wietse
