We run a Perl script that sends catalog update messages, using Sendmail, to our customers once/week. Lately, Sendmail has been sending 2 copies of the message to every address.
We've been running this script for 2 years, and there have been no changes to it (this duplication problem began about a month ago). We have made several tweaks to the Sendmail setup, however. I suppose one of them is the culprit, but I have no idea which one.
The prob seems to have something to do with the way Sendmail queues outgoing messages -- as though it sends a message, but does not delete it from the queue. Then it starts the queue over again.
Incidentally, when running this script on a small test database (10 addresses), the problem does not occur. But occurs every time on the real database (5000 addresses).
Anyone have a clue?
