Bug 259871 – woodpecker seems to be delivering mail messages multiple times

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description Jorge Manuel B. S. Vicetto (RETIRED) 2009-02-22 07:18:00 UTC]

I just noticed that for the past 4 hours I've received at least 4 mails multiple times - from at least 2 to 5 different copies.
I wonder if there might be a problem with local delivery. In case it helps, here are a few message ids:

<[e-mail]>
<[e-mail]>
<[e-mail]>


Reproducible: Always

Your maildrop is broken.

solved. maildrop was being blocked by a ulimit of unknown origin.
