People who send an email to our domain on a mailscanner sometimes get this:
   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to mail.nextmill.net.:
>>> DATA
<<< 554 this message has already been here
554 5.0.0 Service unavailable

Anyone have any idea on what could cause this?  The message is delivered,
but seems to be picked up twice somehow and so the system produces an
error and sends it to the FROM address letting them know the message had
already arrived!
