Can you explain in more detail what "SMTP host started rejecting due
to load" means?  Do you mean the socket connect failed, or the SMTP
server returned error codes, or something else.

I ask because I have a simple Python smtpd for testing and if I can
configure it to reproduce exactly the error conditions your seeing
with sendmail, I can try to debug the dups problem.  I'd /really/ like
to do that before 2.0 final goes out, since others are seeing this
problem too (mostly sendmail users it seems though).

Thanks,
