Is it fair to say that the duplicate mail problem with Postfix is
unlikely to be resolved in the near future? Don't get me wrong, I'm not
knocking either MS or Postfix, I just want to know! I use Postfix on a
number of installations and I think I'm faced with the choice of:

a) migrating to, say, exim or
b) putting up with the duplicate mails

If I'm wrong, correction would be welcomed. Is it likely that there will
ever be a tighter integration between Postfix and MS which would work
around these issues?

Thanks,
Keith
