[ExchangeList] Re: Repeating Emails

This is what is so frustrating… The SMTP logs show normal delivery of a 
message, nothing to indicate errors.  It’s as if the sender is sending the same 
messages over and over again.  My goal here is to figure out what exactly is 
triggering this request to resend the same message…

Some very good thoughts, but nothing I have found seems to point in that 
direction :-( Here is an example of what I am dealing with in regards to one of 
these messages.  This is a screen shot from Message Tracking center for ONE of 
these messages (this isn’t even the entire result…it keeps going until I 
blocked the sender early this morning) See how the same message keeps getting 
delivered over and over and over again???:

It kinda sounds like a scripting or group membership issue at the sending side. 
 Could the other end be sending to multiple groups with the user in each one of 
those groups?  Sending directly to the user and then again to a group the user 
is a member of.  Someone fat fingered a script on the sending machine?  The 
sender is Outlook with multiple rules that trigger on the same criteria? Just a 
few thoughts.

I should have said this in my previous email…  The only common thread with 
these messages are that they are messages that are automatically generated.  
For example, a hotel reservation, or a confirmation that something has been 
received, such as a resume submission…  Other than that, these messages are 
fairly innocuous.

Is there something common in the users who receive multiple copies this emails. 
For example, they have certain embedded data in the email (like a picture) or 
maybe they all had a certain kind of attachment of a certain size

Hey All,

 

I wanted to know if anyone has ever come across this problem.  Been scouring 
the net like crazy and not coming up with anything solid.

 

Every now and again, I have users telling me they are receiving MANY copies of 
the same message form the same sender (known senders in all cases).  Looking at 
things from my end, server side, it’s as if Exchange is “rejecting” the email, 
requesting another copy form the sending server, and still delivering each 
instance of the copy to the recipient on my end.  The cycle doesn’t end until I 
block the sender in he spam filter to stop the message in its tracks before it 
hits my Exchange server again.  I don’t know what to do here..pulling my hair 
out… ANY HELP at all is GREATLY appreciated!!
