Huh, sorry,
unintentional double post. Thunderbird bug, apparently.
Sometimes Th does not use the default smtp server (postfix) and sends on its own.
Can't say I've ever seen that happen, but my TB is quite old. What does "sends on its own" mean btw? That TB looks up the MX for the recipient domain and talks directly to that?
Ah.
On the Th smtp configuration setting, I have an entry for "localhost",
configured as default smtp server:
port 25,
no user name,
no auth,
no connection security.
Posts are sent to postfix, and postfix handles the sending via my ISP
relay. And all accounts have this entry set as the smtp server to use.
Then, I also have entries for each account, so that using a gmail account
thunderbird would talk with the gmail entry server for sending. This is
what I called "on its own".
The current setting on each account is "use default smtp server", as
described above for localhost, not the ISP for each account. On this
occasion, though, apparently Th ignored this setting, and sent directly,
using the other config, sending directly to my ISP.
Or so I thought.
Looking again at the logs, I see that thunderbird sent the same email
twice to postfix:
