tlug: Slackware mail problem + b-ball

[Michael Chiu <mchiu@example.com>]

I am hoping that someone might be able to help out with this...

Currently, at work, we have a small "rebel" e-mail server running on 
Slackware (I can't remember the version number, but I think it was called 
Turbo Linux 96)... anyways, the problem is fairly basic, so I'm not sure if 
the version number is relevant..

I am trying to figure out if this is a problem with the client or the 
server, but have no idea how to go about it...

In any case, when I send an e-mail out, there are times when I get a 
complaint that I am sending 2 mails instead of one.  I have used two 
different mail clients... M$ Outlook and M$ Outlook Express... I have no 
idea what happens with Eudora, but I heard the same problems with N$ 
Navigator 3.0 mail client...

I was wondering if anyone knows what is causing me to send the double mails, 
and if there is any way to fix this problem?  Does anyone know if this is a 
server related problem, or a client related problem?  Originally, I thought 
that it might have been caused because I was saving my mails on the server, 
but the situation has not changed.  There was a problem that was caused by 
doing that in the sense that my mails kept doubling themselves so I might 
receive 47 copies of the same mail, but no one ever reported that I sent 47 
copies of the same mail to them...

If anyone knows how I can be rid of this problem, it would be greatly 
appreciated.

On a side note, knowing how NCAA basketball and Linux go hand in hand 
(sorry, I know this is extra topical to the list), I am wondering if anyone 
is interested in a little basketball pool?  March Madness starts on 3/12, so 
I am trying to get something organized early... my company does this every 
year among a small group of us for a minimal amount (1,000/entry usually), 
but we felt like expanding...

Anyways, please let me know for both of the above requests...

Thanks,

Mikio
