Did the trick include checking that you don't get multiple start and
kill script "pointers" to the actual script (nor "dangling symlinks")
from the actual runlevel-specific rc-script directories?

Check
ls -l /etc/rc?.d/*|grep -i mail
or possibly
ls -l /etc/rc.d/r*/*|grep -i mail

might be that you are simply ruunning the same start script twice
(although one would hope that starting the second one would simply
fail... subsys lock or somesuch...), perhaps with different names...
