Nope, no other mailservers whatsoever, I'm sure i'm not running multiple instances of sbbs, just started running under systemd, so still learning the ins and outs of it, but I'm sure it has'nt sprung 2 instances of it up :-)

here is the log entry to match yours:

Thanks!

...Please don't ask me what the score is. I'm not even sure what the game is.
