Email duplication

Do you have a pix firewall ? I believe that if you are running 5.2.5 or less (dont quote me) there is a possibility that it will create 40 - 50 duplicates under certain circumstances.

Sorry, I have searched for a reference and more info, unable to find either.

Hope this helps

Cheers

found one !

Hi Paulha

We are using a Cisco Pix 501

Morning tpluskota

My knowledge of firewalls is at best very poor. We had the same duplicates problem here. It looks as if you may need to upgrade the to the latest version, or alternatively there is a workaround where you disable the the smtp fixup protocol.

We did the workaround, which didnt work, then we upgraded which didnt work, we now suspect that our isp is running an old version of the pix software, will be progressing it today

I can only suggest you search for the workaround (use link above as a starting point then google it) and if that fails, upgrade to the latest pix version which should sort it. I believe it did not work for us as we have a very strange setup where we have internet connectivity via a local college who in turn get it from a local university, the college are suspected of not pushing the boundaries of technology too hard and probably have the old pix software. On the other hand, I would probably guess that you have a "proper " ISP who are almost certainly up to date with all the latest software versions and patches.

Anyway, try the workaround (if you can find it) if not try the upgrade, one or the other should work.

Once again, apologies for not being more helpful, but as stated earlier, i know next to nothing about firewalls

Cheers

Paul
