Repeating Messages

[Don B]

We have a problem with some messages coming in our IMC be delivered to the
recipient several times. Some happen every ten minutes and some are more
sporadic. Our system is Exchange5.5 just upgraded to SP4. We have tried to
what Q239420 says about removing the pointer from the Queue.dat file but
this has not resolved the issue. This problem occurred before we added SP4
and SP4 has not made any difference. The only way we can stop these messages
is to restrict the delivery of that specific sender to that recipient.
Has any one had this problem? We have been using Exchange for several years
and this started just recently.

I don't have any specific fixes, but have you turned on logging to see where
the extra copies are being generated? I suggest turning on SMTP protocol
logging on the IMC and message tracking on the MTA.

The problem may be at the sender's site and not yours.

yes, actually, I can say without a doubt that I'm experiencing the exact
same thing. I also followed that Q239420, and it didn't help me either. I
posted another topic (darn, wish I had seen this one first - sorry folks)
but it sounds to be an identical type of problem. I have called PSS, and
they don't have a clue what the problem is. About to call them back right
now.

It could be that some external server giving your hard time. If Ryan and Don
could post Received headers from repeating messages we could compare them and
find where problem is.

We have had the problem from four different external servers. uswest.net,
webtv.net, amazon.com, and ihighway.net. the one from uswest.net has a
file attachment. The other ones do not have file attachments.

this is one:

We are experiencing the same problem. Very weird. They will come in every
10 minutes. Blocking the suspected domains from the firewall clears it up.
(Definatley not a solution.) Ours have been from smaller oraganizations
including a local ISP and a Law firm that we deal with. I spoke to someone
at the lawfirm (when the problem occurred several weeks ago). Neither of us
saw a thing. We were able to correct the problem by (drum roll) rebooting
the mail server. Once again, this is definatley not a solution.
