This app has the developmestruction scheme (http://
worsethanfailure.com/Articles/The_Developmestuction_Environment.aspx)
so it took a while to find the right thing to comment out such that I
was able to isolate the problem. The feed back above pointed me in the
right direction and I found something I probably wouldn't have
otherwise.

I don't fully understand all the mechanics here and since the security
model of the site will change I don't have time to dig and fix. It
looks like broken authentication code, but maybe it really works.
<shrugs/>

Here it is...

$auth_usr = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'];
$auth_pswd = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'];


if(!$auth_usr)
{ header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Auth"');
}
elseif(in_array(strtolower($auth_usr), $usr))
{ $access = 2;
}

If I comment this code out, I only get one email. If I leave this code
in, I get five emails. I can only assume its bouncing back and forth
to the client for the auth, each time causing the page to reload and
running the mail code again.

Debugging output didn't help (unless it would have been to a log file)
since its only going to show output for the last request which
actually rendered.

Thanks all!
