Possibly. There is a certain kind of spam which causes InetMail (the
mail server) to put the spam message into a loop, and we got several
dozen of them last night. The loops slow down the SCOUG server, so when
a good message is sent out the acknowledgement from your server might
not get back to the SCOUG server before timeout, in which case the SCOUG
server thinks the message wasn't received and sends it again.
