Mail.SmtpClient sending duplicates

[Brian Lorraine]

I tried out the new System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient feature of asp.net 2.0 and I
love it, but there's just one problem. When it sends an email out, it sends
to BOTH the TO and the FROM address. I have the following code which is very
simple.

------------------------snip----------------------------------
Dim client = New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("mail.mydomain.net")
client.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentia ls
lsEmailSubj = "test1"
lsEmailBody = "test2"
Dim msgmail As New
System.Net.Mail.MailMessage("gl***************@myd omain.com",
"us***@mydomani.com", lsEmailSubj, lsEmailBody)
client.Send(msgmail)
--------------------------------------------------------------

This is the only part of my code that actually sends out the email and the
TO and FROM are hardcoded as you can see. However, TWO emails get sent out.
One is from globalitreporting, to user1 .. and... then it sends out the
second email FROM globalitreporting TO globalitreporting.

The really strange thing is that this only happens SOMETIMES, maybe 1/3 of
the time. Is there something about the SmtpClient class that I am forgetting
or is there some setting on my SMTP server that might be messing this up?

Does anyone have any ideas? ;)

I have some email send code at my blog
spaces.msn.com/sholliday/
and i have never gotten a duplicate.
there is 1.1 and 2.0 code there.

I am not using an overloaded constructor like you are , fyi.

Maybe something in you code is causing this process to run twice. How is it
called.?

The code running twice wouldn't explain the email being sent both to the
TO and FROM addresses.
