Duplicate emails being sent for subscription

Hi folks,
We have a report that is emailed to three users (one "To" and two "Cc")
at 6:45am every weekday.
As of applying SP2 earlier this week, each user is receiving two copies
(generated about 2 seconds apart) in their inbox.
There's one curious difference between the two emails: One comes from
'sqlreports@.ourdomain.com.au' and the other comes from
'SQLReports@.ourdomain.com.au'. The case of the sender name is the only
difference.
Has anyone any clues as to where I can look to resolve this?
Cheers,
Matt HamiltonThat is certainly strange. The from user comes from the config file and
should be unique to the report server. Did you have a web farm set up? Is
it possible there is another Report Server pointed at this DB.
Things you can look at:
Check the subscription tab of the report as a user with Content Manager
permission and see if there are two subscriptions.
How many rows are in the keys table?
Check the ReportServerService<timestamp>.log file and see if the
subscription is being processed more then once.

Thanks for the prompt reply, Daniel.
I'm going to go bitchslap the developer who asked me about this (and I
should have looked harder at it myself before posting, so that's one
more bitchslap).
She'd set the same subscription up on two different servers. Not a web
farm or anything, just duplicate reports each emailing themselves at the
same time.
Thanks again,
Matt|||Well, that's good to hear. Be nice to the developers!!! Occasionally (but
rarely) they do make mistakes. :)
