"delayed emails" / duplicates.
Friday saw a scheduled file system check of a mail cluster member. It would appear that a complication with files not being deleted properly after being cleared from the spool queue had arisen, and as a result on recovering these files to a state in which they could be deleted - the mail server diligently sent them on their way. The resulting phanton resending of emails - in some cases up to a month old.
As these mails had been marked as deleted, these mails are DUPLICATES, and these and can safely be disregarded.
We apologise for the confusion this may have caused.
