SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Exchange Connector for Lotus cc:Mail may send duplicate copies of a message from Exchange to cc:Mail during the transmission. The problem depends on timing and generates duplicates of a few messages just after the connector begins processing the queue.
CAUSE
The connector uses multiple threads to check notification messages for items to be added to the queue. There is a small possibility of two threads accessing the same notification and adding the message to the queue.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server version 5.5. For more information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
