Re: One message sent - 2 copies arrive

I'm having the same problem, and it seems to be only with sending to more
than one recipient -- especially with a distribution list. The last time all
15 people on the list received 9 copies of the message. I found that it seems
to keep sending until I go into the Outbox and delete the message. If I'm
quick enough, they only get one copy. Do you think the outlook.dbx file might
be the answer? Where do I find that file?
