dupped messages

[Jason Shein]

I am with sympatico. Using Evolution, I have seen it give me an error,
then hang for a few minutes. After which the email is still in my
outbox, but has actually been sent. During the last week or so this has
happened to me approx a dozen times. If it happens again I will post the
exact error that occurs. If it attempts to send again and is
unsuccessful, i could see this causing multiple messages.

Sympatico says that this is due to "an increased amount of emails being
sent" lol ( spam probably )
