mail loop

[Ken Causey]

Steve,

I've been looking into this and I can find at least some evidence of you
having been sent a few duplicates of this message because the Bellsouth
mail server was receiving the message and then for some reason
prematurely disconnecting and our mail server couldn't be sure delivery
had occurred and so kept trying.  For example:

Jan 31 07:53:30 localhost qmail: 1138690410.295490 starting delivery
2514987: msg 15581839 to remote sgelkins at bellsouth.net
Jan 31 07:55:01 localhost qmail: 1138690501.253673 delivery 2514987:
deferral:
Connected_to_205.152.58.33_but_connection_died._Possible_duplicate!
_(#4.4.2)/

However I'm only finding on the order of 20-30 of these with the
specific Message-ID that you provided before.  Also it seems like it
should now have stopped about 9 hours ago (the times here are in UTC):

Feb  1 12:46:50 localhost qmail: 1138794410.078865 starting delivery
2575017: msg 15581839 to remote sgelkins at bellsouth.net
Feb  1 12:46:51 localhost qmail: 1138794411.741594 delivery 2575017:
success:
205.152.58.33_accepted_message./Remote_host_said:_250_Message_received:_20060201114651.GBIS25935.ibm04aec.bellsouth.net at box2.squeakfoundation.org/

This success should mean that repeated delivery should have stopped.

Is this the only repeated message you have gotten?  If you are still
getting messages could you check for any different message-ids?  I'll be
around on #squeak on irc.freenode.net for a while this afternoon
(although I will be somewhat erratic after about 4PM US central time and
completely gone by 5:45 or so).

Ken
