The cause, I surmised, was that someone was stopping the download of the page before it finished, so the code execution stopped, or they were double clicking the submit button.
The cause was a bit hazy, though ignore_user_abort() fixed it for me. Is it possible, in your case, that the code is partially executing, and giving you the impression it's sending dublicate mails?

Hello all - this problem is so wierd that I don't even know where to start. Hopefully you all can give me a couple leads.
I have some reporting systems going on in various places on the server - mail() is called when a user does this or that. These scripts are farily simple, so I am next to certain is isn't the code - but every once in a while, more than one duplicate email will be sent.
What is so strange is that it only occurs for these odd periods of time. For example, yesterday from 4pm to this morning at 7am, 2 copies would be sent. Last week for several days, 5 copies would be sent.
The emails are frequent enough (every couple of minutes) that it is very easy to track, but I don't have a clue as to what would be the cause.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to start looking?
Thanks in advance!
