It has nothing to do with fileboxes, either. If MAIL exists for both nodes
(that are the same person) it will have something in the /outbound as well as
the /outbound.02e directories, and will try to poll that same person twice. One
for each node number.

I stopped this by changing my maxclients to 1, whereas I can use maxservers 100
and not be affected by it whatsoever.

Regards,
Nick
