The Singapore duplicate messages can happen even when the person causing
it has never posted anything.

If I knew just what was going on, I would tell you. If I knew who was
doing it, I would tell you. Singtel won't tell me. There is some
command, some action, some process or filter, that an Exchange user can
ask for, which results in all of the messages that the person has
received being re-transmitted as if for the first time. I don't know if
the command being issued is "move", "delete", "copy to folder", or
"retransmit all to original recipient". But the net effect is that
messages in soneone's inbox in Singapore are all being re-transmitted to
the same address to which they were originally sent.

The duplicates are not reaching the LUG because I have software in place
to notice this and filter them out. But the LUG computer is being
burdened by having to filter such a large number of messages.

If you get duplicates of messages, you need to look at the headers to
see where they differ. The haders of a message look like this. The key
to look at is the ESMTP id of your own mail host. If that ID is the
same, then the duplication is probably happening inside your ISP or
inside your computer. If it is different, then the duplication is
happeing upstream. If you study the headers carefully you can always see
where the duplication is taking place by looking at where the headers
differ between the two duplicated copies.
