Yes, it looks like the batch process glitched and it was restarted by the Web server. I am afraid we may have to live with it, as it has not happened for many weeks, if it becomes a regular occurrence I will need to put in some sort of tracking mechanism to save me having to pay Amazon SES twice for the messages.

I've received 2 copies again about 6 minutes apart.

It doesn't really matter to me, but if FHUG is paying on a "per email" basis it could be a waste of money.

If it helps, I looked at the email headers and they were sent from two different Amazon data centres - the first one from Ashburn, Virginia and the second from Seattle, Washington.
From the time stamps they were sent six minutes apart, and both to the same email address.

This happens occasionally, I am not sure if it is a Amazon thing, as I can't see any errors on our server and the logs look fine, eg people are not listed twice. I use Amazon to send them as our TOS for the web server frowns on sending bulk emails.
