I love it :-)

As for the duplicates, these are usually generated when there is a
connection failure during mail delivery.  Obviously if the failure
occurs in the middle of a message, the partial copy is discarded by
the receiving end and the sending side re-queues the message for
delivery.  But... if the transaction went far enough to make delivery
(from the receiver's perspective) then failed (from the sender's
perspective), the sender re-queues the message (your duplicate).

We have been experiencing intermittent connectivity problems within
campus over the past week or so, but it hasn't been serious enough to
rise above my current interrupt mask.  I will be getting around to an
overall network checkup after finishing some other pending tasks.
I don't know if this has been contributing to the problem or not.
Usually it's "somewhere in the net".
