[opensuse] Help with repeating email messages
Hello all I have my email server set up with dovecot and sendmail. Whenever, I receive a message to that server it get repeated continuous so that after a short while I receive over a hundred copies of the same message. Does anyone have any idea what is going on or what I might need to change in the configuration. I am using opensuse 13.1, kde 4.11.5 and kernel 3.11.10-21-desktop x86_64 Would be grateful if someone had any helpful suggestions. TIA Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You have to look carefully at the mail logs and the mail headers. There is nothing anybody can say from distance, except wild guesses. wildguess: a forward loop to yourself. For instance, you can check the message-id field. Send an email to yourself, and verify logs on both sending server and receiving server. Check if it happens with any address, both "from" and "to". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

The only time I had repeats was when my ISP switched to Yahoo for email. For a while there was a problem with some spam causing fetchmail to choke and then restart the mail download. It took a fair bit of research with Wireshark to find that one. How are you retrieving the mail? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
