This is something I start after I install a new mailscanner version.I have
done a clean postfix installation without mailscanner and even then this
happends from time to time. So I returned to sendmail with mailscanner.
Strange is if I use the webmail client from my provider and write a message
to a email address which is handled by bsmtp. I can see it going wrong,
instead of seeing the message being send the message gets stuck in the
inbox from the providers webmail client and while taking a look
at /var/spool/user I see the double mesage. After doing a service
mailscanner restart the problems is sometimes) solved for a little while.
I'm not 100% sure yet but if I send a message right after doing a service
mailscanner restart it may double up I will have to take a closer look into
this.  Strange enough neather of the users who receive there email from a
pop3 server by fetchmail seem to have this problem. The same goes for a
message send from my workstation handled by my mta and returned, neather
seems to double up.
