SYMPTOMS

If User A on Exchange Server A has an alternate recipient specified on the
Delivery Option tab to point to User B, who is a user on a foreign mail system
(and the "deliver messages to both recipient and alternate recipient" option is
selected), User B receives a duplicate message when a user on Exchange Server A
sends a message to UserA and UserB.
