 * I’ve been receiving duplicate email notifications, for comments. For example,
   I have a saved comment notification that was made on 2.25.2005 for a legitimate,
   approved message (while the WP software was running on v.1.2.2) I received a 
   duplicate email message of that one from 2.25 today, sent from the WP system 
   on 5.3.2005.
 * I have received other duplicate email notifications, but didn’t really think 
   much of them, and simply deleted them from my inbox, so I can’t go back and make
   solid inferences about the duplicates’ periodicity. Now, since I realize there’s
   a problem of some kind, I’ll be saving them routinely and hopefully note whether
   they are correlated with post edits or other apparent activity such as spam, 
   etc.
 * Has anyone else had this problem? Any idea what’s happening? **Any solutions?**
 * I’ll likely bump this thread if I have additional information to add.
 * I made some test comments. These were from me logged in as me..
    1. On a post
   with other comments existing results in no emailing of previous duplicates, only
   the current message. 2. On a post with no other comments results in no emailing
   of previous duplicates.
 * How about a test trackback? I can’t test trackbacks received on this blog since
   upgrading to 1.5. But I receive trackback spams.
 * Hypothesis: Duplicate emails of comments previously approved are being sent with
   new occurrences of apparent trackback spam that’s been moderated.

 * We are also having this problem, although we only receive the double notifications
   for registered users. I suspect ours might be something to do with SpamKarma,
   what plugins do you have installed?
