I have sent my graphics designer an email with pictures
about 4 days ago. Ever since then he keeps getting the
same email 3 times a day at random times and the date on
the email is the date which was 4 days ago.

Ive sent similar things before but its only this email
that keeps getting sent to him over and over.

Just wondering if its my end or his.
 
I have the same problem. (Outlook 2002) It only occurs
when I send an email with an attachment. The mail never
leaves the outbox but the addressee receives it multiple
times until I delete or remove it from the outbox. The
mail never goes into the sent folder.

Any ideas?
 
You could turn on your logs in your e-mail client to check if you are
sending any e-mail to this recipient in the RCPT-TO command to your SMTP
server. Or you could leave your e-mail client unloaded for a day, like
during the weekend to ensure that YOU aren't sending it. If it's not
you, could be your ISP's mail server keeps retrying to send your e-mail
from their end but the receiving mail server on your friend's end keeps
returning an error status but really did accept the e-mail. Your mail
server will probably keep retrying for awhile to send the e-mail. Check
with your ISP's tech support to see if their mail server still has a
copy of your e-mail retrying to get received okay by the recipient's
mail server. Then, it could be your friend decided to change the option
to leave messages on his mail server so he keeps seeing the same message
everytime he polls. That was his choice, not yours.
 
Thanks for the input. I don't know about Glenn's problem,
but in my case, I know I am sending it. The email remains
in the outbox thus every time Outlook does an automatic
send/receive it sends it again. This only happens with
attachments. The mail never appears in the sent items
folder. This has happened with more than one recipient,
too. ISP says it must be something with Outlook. Any
suggestions?

Thanks

The same problem is happening to me.
It happens with Outlook 2002, Win 98, when I send
attachments bigger than 500kb. (It doesn't happen with
Outlook Express, in the same computer and email account).

Any solution???
Thanks a lot!!!
